Abdel, I know that you agree with Guy on this one, so maybe you guys are

much much simpler, even if it is a little backwards.

Perhaps we can reuse part of LyX bidi algorithm. I am thinking about 
keeping the reordering of words but not the reordering of letters. This 
must be done by Qt because it is the one who knows how to paint them on 
screen at the end.
This won't be a big change because we already pass the strings word by 
word to the painter.
