Not overlooked so much as not really possible to retro-fit into the current implementation of fields (unlike RTL, which has been messy enough in getting working!). Chinese, at least, is usable in LTR and RTL directions; I'm not sure about the other two. It would definitely be nice to support TTB (and BTT, for symmetry) but we've too many other things on our collective plate at the moment. There's also boustrophedon, for those feeling a pressing need to write ancient Greek (I suspect this would actually be easier than TTB or BTT!) If I'm not careful, we might end up with Tex re-implemented inside the LiveCode engine. Unfortunately, I very much doubt I could live up to Donald Knuth!
