The main work is on GetCharacterPlacement and GetFontLanguageInfo and then
  tweaking some controls, starting with the Edit control.

+ ------- Additional Comments From [e-mail]  2002-05-16 14:33 -------
+ IBM's BiDi group have began working on this issue, but it is unclear at what
+ stage they will be able to release their work, if ever. I am taking ownership of
+ this issue, at least until IBM say otherwise.
+ 
+ In addition to the steps mentioned by François, having ExtTextOut support
+ reordering (calling GetCharacterPlacement?), and finding some way to get proper
+ glyphing for Arabic (the same character is rendered differently based on
+ location in the word). Making sure that "GetTextExtent*" functions work
+ properly, as well as, probably, the rest of the text output functions. When that
+ is done, we will be able to find out what else needs to be done.
+ 
+ Who said that life was easy ;-).
