Eli,
Thanks for your fulsome replies. Now I get it.
I had assumed that 'paragraph' meant 'delimited by one or more
newlines'. That was part of the problem.
I can now set bidi-paragraph-direction to right-to-left, and get what
I expected.
Sort of. The odd thing is that I get pretty good visual composition
of the characters with all of the Unicode Hebrew-vowel-capable fonts
I've tried---as long as the RTL lines are left-aligned. You're right,
this is just a font feature. Emacs thinks they are separate
characters. But as soon as I set bidi-paragraph-direction to
right-align the Hebrew lines--how it should be---I loose that visual
composition on the character level, whatever the font. So for the
moment, I'll keep the lines aligned wrongly, so that the text is
readable, and have a look at Yair's interim work on character
composition.
Thanks for clearing this up.
Scot
