Hi,
-- experimental fix for framed inline direction (at some point we will
come up with a more precise description .. also, only use the already
posted boxing macros, don't rely on low level box + dir spec as context
keep a state of directions independently of tex)
-- fix for marks on fonts like dejavumono that have fixed width glyphs
(so also marks with widths but lacking positioning) .. beware: such
fotns are monospaced so you get funny side effects with left/right
spacing due to some characters not being centered in their
wider-than-needed-as-fixed boundingbox .. also beware of bugs in mkmk
(last night idris and i spend quit esome hours on nailing these issues
down)
-- there is something fuzzy with arial, also in ms toolchains, at
different scales, etc etc ... anyhow, for testing best use a decent
font, like arabtype, not arial
-- not all complex bidi stuff will be solved in the bidi default
methods, use method one or two if applicable
-- some more things done
Hans

Dear gang,
All interested in this matter shold read the first three links on
http://www.yudit.org/bidi/
We should not slavishly imitate the bidi algorithm; we need a tailor-made
model.
Best wishes
Idris
