    Inefficient yes, but horribly no :). The problem with calling fribidi is
    that fribidi works with the raw text and our layout engine works on a
    more abstract level with fp_TextRuns. The interfacing to fribidi could
    be made more efficient by fribidi allowing us to feed it character
    types instead of characters.
