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

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
