bug#22681: Shows right-to-left text characters in the wrong order

The Arabic word for dog is al-kalb (الكلب), but when I try to insert this
word into an otherwise left-to-right document, Emacs renders the characters
of al-kalb backwards, forming nonsense.

System:

Do you see the same with the Arabic and Hebrew greetings in the buffer
presented by the "C-h H" command?

Anyway, this sounds like something OS X specific, because on my system
(which is not OS X) the Arabic word you cited is displayed in its
correct visual order.

It displays here on OS X correctly.  Which font are you using?  What is the
buffer coding system?  How was Emacs built?
