This is actually still development code, but thanks for mentioning
it. I've forwarded this to the devel mailing list.

I unfortunately currently give less time to D-I testing. I remember I
noticed that, visually, there was some problem with the graphical D-I
for Arabic and, I guess, Persian as well.


We might need someone with the required skills to join temporarily in
the D-I development team to be sure that these issues are properly
dealt with (bidi+shaping+harakat stuff, I think).
