Bug Description

Hi,

Pyfribidi is a binding of fribidi c lib which already implemented both bidi and shaping. But pyfribidi seams only support bidi.

Like that it seems only useful for Hebrew from all RTL's.

I have contacted fribidi & pyfribidi authors. the resume:

- Ubuntu up to 9.10 includes fribidi 0.10.9 (fribidi0) which doesn't do Arabic shaping (only bidi). Pyfribidi up to 0.6.0 was build on this version.

- fribidi 0.19.2 (fribidi2) which has Arabic shaping feature is not released yet officially.

So this bug could be changed to Invalid or Wish-list? I don't know. Thank you.
