Hi Hans, Taco, Idriss and the mkiv team,
Since I have been unable to use mkiv until very recently I am not
aware whether the following bug has been addressed or not (Luigi
Scarso taught me how to install and use mkiv on Mac OS, last Sunday…).
Below is a minimal file which shows that the numerals in Right-to-Left
text are reversed, while they shouldn't.
XeTeX and XeConTeXt behave correctly in this respect.
If the bug is known, pardon me for the noise…
Best regards: OK
