A font depends on its TCanvas. It's not a separate thing. That's why you can
assign values, but not replace the class.

AFAIK you can't choose the Bidi of a font. Bidi is defined by the
characters. An 'a' is always left-to-right, while an arabic character is
always RTL, no matter what the font is called or setup.
Can you define, what a BIDI property should do?
