Title:
  RTL (right to left) support in terminal (BiDi)

Status in Gnome Virtual Terminal Emulator:
  New
Status in “vte” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

  The program fails to display bi-directional text correctly. For example,
   the Arabic  word Went (راح) should be spelled raa (ر) Alif (ا) haa (ح)
   from right to left. The program displays the Arabic text in the opposite 
direction.

  examples:
  ا ب ج
  become
  ج ب ا

  if the problem with numbers (and it's not) it will look like:
  123
  become
  321

  that makes many translated terminal applications messages unreadable
  like dpkg & apt-get
