It might be a missing feature, if PostScript supports commands to tell
the printer to reorder text. But I don't know enough about PostScript
to tell whether this is so, and I never saw any PostScript output from
any program that prints R2L script, so I have no idea how this is done
by programs, Like LibreOffice, which reportedly do support printing of
such text.
If someone knows about that, I'm all ears.
