[XeTeX] Syriac: Text Direction

[Thomas Thackery]

This worked, thank you.   I don't know if this is substandard  
practice to use the \begin{flushright}, but this is how I achieved my  
results:

\begin{flushright}
{\beginR{\syr
ܐܰܠܳܗܳܐ ܠܳܐ ܚܙܳܐ ܐ݈ܢܳܫ ܡܶܡܬ݂ܽܘܡ  
ܝܺܚܺܝܕ݂ܳܝܳܐ ܐܰܠܳܗܳܐ ܗܰܘ  
ܕ݁ܺܐܝܬ݂ܰܘܗ݈ܝ ܒ݁ܥܽܘܒ݁ܳܐ ܕ݁ܰܐܒ݂ܽܘܗ݈ܝ  
ܗܽܘ ܐܶܫܬ݁ܰܥܺܝ
}\endR}
\end{flushright}

Have you switched from left-to-right to right-to-left writing? I.e.
are you using ``\beginR some text´´ or {\beginR* some text \endR}? In
this case you would also need to set \TeXXeTstate=1 in the preamble,
i.e. before \begin{document}.

The font loading command does not switch writing direction, it only
helps to choose the right glyphs from inside the font.
