Detailed Description

Pango supports bidirectional text (like Arabic and Hebrew) automatically. Some applications however, need some help to correctly handle bidirectional text.

The PangoDirection type can be used with pangoContextSetBaseDir to instruct Pango about direction of text, though in most cases Pango detects that correctly and automatically. The rest of the facilities in this section are used internally by Pango already, and are provided to help applications that need more direct control over bidirectional setting of text.
