Bug Description
Binary package hint: libfribidi0
Not only is it highly recommended by the author to upgrade to this version but also it fixes Arabic shaping issues in subtitles for several video players such as VLC and MPlayer(as well as other apps using FriBiDi)
According to the official website "This release is fairly API/ABI compatible with the 0.10 series. The Fedora project simply upgraded to 0.19 series from 0.10 without any compatibility issues. Using this version instead of 0.10 series is highly recommended."
I have compiled and installed it manually on my system with no problems.
