Re: miniBidi

I've got minibidi working in qt (I got a bit bored and it turned out to be 
quite easy to get basic bidi working in qt).

This is qte with no bidi:

This is exactly the same text (i.e., no char 0x4024) with minbidi bidi and 
shaping built into qte (note the kasra doesn't work):

And this is a shot of the text editor using an arabic keymap that I prepared 
(it turns out that the keymap is just a very straightforward keymap):

The text editor is actually pretty useless for editing arabic because it 
doesn't know where each character is and hence you can add arabic text but 
editing it is not really possible. At least you can in principle read text 
with it.

As you can see I think it's well worth ploughing on and getting minibidi 
working well inside qt/e 2.3.
