Bug Description
A new feature allows writing text in Hebrew / Arabic direction.
The toolbar icons assigned to it are the same as left/right alignment.
However,
RTL / LTR is NOT right <> left alignment: RTL changes the order in the sentence, while alignment just pushes the whole sentence to the right / left edge of the box.
The icons therefore should be different.
Ultimately, it's best to match RTL buttons in other apps.
The image attached shows few examples from open-source (and 1 from M$) of how RTL buttons look like.
The concept of RTL vs. Alignment is already difficult even to RTL users, and we'd like to emphasize the difference.
Thanks!

Would you like to suggest two new icons that fit with the icon sets that Inkscape provides?
