: I would like to know whether MicroWindows already anticipated the possibility
of handling right-to-left languages like arabic and hebrew and whether we can
work on a some kinf of BiDi algorithm support..

Currently, right-to-left display support is not implemented.




: I would be pleased if you point me to some good documentation and source code
to change or to look at if we want to have arabic and hebrew supported and
whether there is or not some undergoing work in this specific field..

Make sure you read the Architecture document on the web site.  In order
to get this to work, you will have to write the code.  The GdText() routine
in src/engine/devfont.c is the starting point for the work.  Take a look
at that routine, which switches out to corefont_drawtext for the built-in
fonts.  It's the simplest; I'd suggest you start there.
