Quickly taking my Unicode hat off and putting my security hat on: More recent digital signature laws require for the use of digital signatures of legal relevance the use of a certified trusted display component to look at what is being signed, and such a certification involves far more severe checks than just the bidi algorithms (readability and distinguishability of all glyphs that could be used, well-defined and carefully justified character set subset, robustness and usability of user interface, trusted patch, etc. etc.). Do you want to get Yudit get certified for this purpose? This bidi issue seems only like one minor aspect of the overall suitability of Yudit as a certified trusted display component. Or is worry merely about someone recently using Yudit for something it really wasn't designed for? Markus -- Markus G.
