BiCon: a Bidirectional Console
BiCon can be used under Linux console, or terminal emulators with
basic Unicode rendering (UTF-8).
Run "bicon" to get a console supporting Arabic or Persian according
to LANG or specify the country on the command line, for instance:
bicon ir # for Persian (Iran)
Keymaps and fonts for Arabic and Persian are included.
Use alt+shift to switch keyboard layouts in a graphical environment.
