This was the Persian language, written in the Arabic script. And yes, it
*does* have that "contextual shaping" behavior. But in no language in
the word should selecting (a read-only act) change the appearance
underlying text. But again, since this is a bidirectional script, so
getting things like this right is a little hard.
