No. The unicode specification specify exactly how a compliant
implamantation should display bidi (convert logica->visual). All
implementations should be strictly compliant. If two separate
implementations display the same sentence in a different way, then at
least one of them is buggy.

If you encounter such a bug, please report it (ivrix-discuss are two
linux-il are two good places to report it)
