Subject: BiDi on Windows - was it tested?

I just pulled down the 7.14 BiDi build from Tom's site and tried it
out on my Win2K machine with Hebrew & Arabic support installed -
unfortunately, it doesn't appear to work in NUMEROUS ways :(.
* Not all fonts are listed in our font selector (especially the
non-Roman ones).
* No way to enable/disable "bidi" support as there is in the Unix build
* Copy/Paste from Word results in a mess.
And that was when I just gave up...
Is it me, or has no one previously tested the BiDi features on Windows?
