Have you used it at all? Does it reverse direction? What about
dual language (Hebrew/English)? Can one switch back and forth between
Enlish & Hebrew & get the direction right?

In what way does it support hebrew? Just fonts & font changes, or
also switching languages, or does it even handle dual language &
bidirectionality well...
