Description Tim Starling 2007-03-01 20:47:20 UTC 
librsvg appears to lack bidi/RTL support. The SVG 1.1 standard states that the unicode bidirectional algorithm should be used when rendering text elements:

Here's an example.

Rendered: http://noc.wikimedia.org/~tstarling/he-test-new.png

The system used for rendering was rsvg 2.14.0 on FC3, with the fonts-hebrew and fonts-hebrew-fancy packages installed.
