The problem is now fixed, checkout the new version or change the
one you already have. The problem is that I use CAPRtl charset
for testing, you'll find this at the begining of minibidi.c

#define GetType(x) getType(x)
/*=====TESTING mode===========*/
//#define GetType(x) getCAPRtl(x)

I use getCAPRtl(x) which returns and imaginary type for chars but,
you should use getType(x) if you want the real thing.

Try this out and let me know how its going :)
