I can't see that strange behaviour on GNU/Linux. Amit
Aronovitch <address@hidden> also reported that
rendering and cursor movement are ok on Debian. So, I
suspect that the problem is specific to Windows. In Emacs,
bidi reordering is done by Emacs itself, so the `shape'
method of font backend should not reorder glyphs. But,
perhaps Uniscribe backend reorders Arabic text, right?
