Hmmm, Unicode technical report #25 seems to be the relevant documentation around this. http://www.unicode.org/Public/5.2.0/ucd/BidiMirroring.txt for the right to left forms which can be synthesized from existing unicode code points And the opentype "rtlm" table for including right to left forms in the font itself. It *looks* to me on a casual look through, that some support in our text rendering would be needed to take the text to be rendered, look up if the font has a rtlm mapping for the glyph, and if it doesn't then see if the font has a glyph for its BidiMirroring equivalent, and if not then try and just swap the glyph around ?
