How does this work with other software which produces PostScript?
Does PostScript have a way to ask the printer to reorder the text? if
so, how? Or is the program that generates PS supposed to reorder the
text? In the latter case, we need to modify ps-print to do that.

Can you explain why and how this does the job? Is there something
special in djvmono.bdf font? Or am I missing the part that reorders
the bidirectional text?
