My reply wasn't complete.  GScript lets you plug in different modules
to render specific languages.  I agree BiDi isn't important in this
case; that was just an example of what is included in GScript.  I only
brought this up because it is one possible source of information: for
all I know somebody hacking GScript is already working on a renderer
along these lines.
