-Subject: [PATCH] enable bidi rendering by default (#481)
-
-Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Hebrew, and many other languages are written in
-an RTL script. And, naturally, people prefer to have filenames etc in
-their native language, regardless of the UI language.
-
-Konsole enables BiDi rendering by default, and for a good reason.
-
-As this is a library, I think it needs this to be enabled by default
-more than a stand-alone application like Konsole, because it's very easy
-for an application to overlook this feature, and not even provide an
-option to enable it, rendering it much less useful than it would have
-been.
