> I "want" wine to implement Uniscribe (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd374091(VS.85).aspx ), and implement BiDi through it. As I don't call the shots on any of this. I just give my input.

but I can't do that for two reasons, one I'm not a windows programmer, I know
nothing a bout Uniscribe, second, that implementation won't be a trivial
isolated patch, it would be rewriting the rendering engine from scratch.

implementing Uniscribe should be simple with Harfbuzz, and please keep it in
your mind as a long term target.

but regarding a short term working solution, would you like me to make you a
version of BIDI_Shaper that works on non-ordered text or would you accept the
posted one.
