Luatex does not mirror characters that has a Bidi_Mirrored property when the text direction is set to RTL (TRT in Aleph), according to http://unicode.org/reports/tr9/#Mirroring, the different types of parenthesis that has Bidi_Mirrored property should be mirreored in RTL mode, but this isn't what I get. Is this a bug, feature, or am I missing some thing? experimental in the beta
\setcharactermirroring[1]
It does work perfectly with unidirectional texts (RTL or LTR), but when mixing bi-directional text, like Arabic text between brackets inside English line, the closing bracket takes the direction of the embedded text not the main line. See the attached example.
i need to figure out what the subtypes are of the direction nodes i suggest that you and idris cook up a set of test files that can serve as benchmark, preferably something organized (arabtest-whatever) and such; eventually these can go into the regression test machinery Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
