[luatex] Fribidi for LuaTeX

[Vafa Khalighi]

True but at least I think luatex can provides something similar to  what
XeTeX provides by its ICU layout engine and the rest (which obviously is
much complicated and needs more testing) can be done either by a
preprocessor or done entirely in lua.


Which thereby makes a generic solution impossible. Omega translation
