I have tested the pango-gtk builds few months ago (using the provided
testing program) and Hebrew was working fine (and as Dov described
in his lecture, they use the two cursor approach, when it's uncertain
if the next entered text would be RTL and thus added to the right of
the existing RTL string, or a new LTR string to the left of the
existing RTL), as well as having both Hebrew, Russian and English in
the same text (xterm with Unicode + a Unicode variant of fixed did
it too).
Also, it already did reversing of the whole GUI (positioning
all widgets right-to-left), though not perfectly (it's probably
better nowadays).
Bad thing is - GTK+ 1.3 (which'll be released as GTK+ 2.0
when final) won't be back-compatible. Preloading the new
libraries before old applications does no good, and OWen
said every application would have to undergo atleast
some minor changes to use GTK+ 2.0.
Oh, and GNOME 1.4 will still be GTK+ 1.2-based.
