Description Behdad Esfahbod 2007-11-07 07:56:27 UTC 
From https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402427

"when there is an ltr directional override lam alef are shaped
as individual connected characters, not as a lam-alef ligature."

Obviously... Because we always pass logical text to OpenType engine, and mirror glyphs afterwards if rtl...  I'm not worried about the lam-alef case, but what wrong substitutions the opentype engine may decide to make...
