[luatex] pst-text with LuaLaTeX and bidi

[Zvi Gilboa]

Greetings!

I am currently in the process of transition to luatex/xetex, and have 
been able to successfully modify many "old" documents so that they use 
OpenType fonts in combination with the bidi package.

The next challenge on the list is to use pst-text-path with a 
right-to-left paragraph and a unicode font.  Despite various attempts, 
this has not been working.  Is this so by design?  When I went to the 
pstricks project page, there were a couple of working examples with 
lualatex and unicode fonts, which gave me some hope...

I am attaching here the source as well as output files, along with an 
example of how things would look when compiled with latex-->dvips-->ps2pdf

In case that helps, the command I used for compilation was:
lualatex --shell-escape path-lua.tex

I am using a fully-updated TexLive-2011.

Thanks in advance for looking at this!

Best regards,
Zvi Gilboa
