Mlterm satisfies this point, like Robert Brady's XTerm patch. Note that BiDi support is available only in UTF-8 mode. This is partly because we don't know any BiDi-needed encodings other than UTF-8. > What is the overhead of bidi support? Any reason someone might not want it > because of that overhead?

Thank you. I was afraid that native Hebrew/Arab speakers are starting to use BiDi application softwares which are assumed to be run on non-BiDi-supporting terminals or they use display-order text file. I'd like also to ask native Arab speakers on this point. Note that mlterm supports Arab shaping also.
