Re: GtkTextView and bidi text

[Dov Grobgeld <dov grobgeld gmail com>]

Indeed there is no higher level override determine the text direction. You
have to change the buffer contents to get what you want. The easiest way of
doing this is by inserting the character zero-width character LRM (U+200E)
before your first RTL character.

Lots of years ago we spoke about having a direction override as a paragraph
attribute, but we never got around to implementing it.
