Since you know much more than I do about PostScript and PS printers,
may I ask you a question: if one sends RTL text embedded in a PS
program to a PS printer, does the printer have the capability to
reorder RTL text when it prints it?=C2=A0 That is, if you send a string of<= br> RTL characters that way, are they printed in reverse order?=C2=A0 Or do PS<= br> printers need the text in the "visual" order, already reordered f= or
display?
Two things to remember about PS printer:
- It's like dumb terminal which places characters left to right = unless specified otherwise.
- It doesn't understand unicode, = let alone RTL re-ordering.
