let me save you a bajillion hours of work: give up on this one. RTL is too
hard. Wait for player 10, which will support bi-di text.
I normally don't try to shoot down people's ideas, but seriously, you're not
going to solve this one. It's really damn hard.
That said I'll be pretty damn impressed if you actually do it. But I have a
feeling you're drastically underestimating what's involved.
