Bug Description
See attached screenshot, if the Windows display language is set to an RTL language such as Hebrew or Arabic, graphics (at least eeschema, probably pcbnew legacy and gerbview as well) render mirrored.
Steps to reproduce, on at least Windows 10:
1) Install Hebrew language pack.
2) Reboot. Some sources indicate this is necessary, I did to be safe.
3) Switch display language to Hebrew.
4) Start kicad.
Hint for those who don't speak the language: don't log out after switching the language - it says you have to, but that's only to switch over the main Windows GUI. If you don't log out, you'll still be able to read the GUI to switch back to your native language ;)
Application: eeschema
Version: (2016-01-22 BZR 6629, Git 827c455)-product debug build

I'm going to look into this a bit, though I'm not assigning myself for now - if it's a ton of work I don't have time right now, hopefully someone else can look into it. I hope it's simple.
Set confirmed as I am "confirming" this after seeing someone else's claim of this bug.
