About Pango direction

[Girish <girish picopeta com>]

hi all ,

   i have one doubt , any one please clarify me.....
i built a text editor using Pango . Initially i was not mentioned the 
base direction (i.e PANGO_DIRECTION_LTR). so Pango was able to find the 
base direction automatically. In this case for  numeric, punctuations  
it was  selecting  the direction " PANGO_DIRECTION_LTR_WEAk" when 
pango_layout_move_cursor_visually() called and it was giving 
unexpected(sometimes G_MAX_INT or 0) output. after mentioning base 
direction while creating the PAngo_context() it is working fine.
but i am understanding why its behaving like this , is it necessary to 
mention base_dir to render layout and for editing ? 


Thanks in advance

Girish
