Re: XTerm Arabic Patch

[Roozbeh Pournader <roozbeh@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried your 0.13 patch. But it does the shaping the wrong way. The
shaping is right-to-left while the characters are written
left-to-right. So ALEF-NOON becomes

	ALEF(final)-NOON(initial)

instead of
	
	ALEF(isolated)-NOON(isolated)

BTW, what about the mirrored glyph shapes?
