Unicode defines some special characters for this. one of them is called "right 
to left mark" (0x200f) and does exactly what you want if you add it at the 
beginning of the line.

Being able to specify initial BiDi conetxt (is the input supposed to be 
english or Hebrew?) programmatically is unfortunately still missing in 
Qt-3.0. It will be added in 3.1
