[XeTeX] Bidi, memoir and footnotes

[Diederick C. Niehorster]

Hi Arash,

Vafa already replied before that Bidi 1.0.3 is very old. Try to get a
hold of the newest version and see if that solves your problem. Try,
for instance, the update mechanism that probably comes with your tex
distribution.

Best,
Dee
