Hi, Dov mentioned that LyX bidi algorithm did a good job at previous versions, and I agree with it. If Lyx bidi algroithm is indeed spread all over the place, I think we will be better off disabling Qt bidi algorithm (if it's possible). I think it won't require much additional code as disabling the Lyx Bidi algorithm.

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. Abdel.
