Sorry for my late response but I'm just wondering if this is XP code or *nix only. Since Windows seems to handle these kinds of fonts in its rendering code. Maybe this is not the case with non-bidi Win95 for instance, and maybe not for non-Windows, non-*nix OSes. I just wanted to pose the question in case it need to be thought about at all.
