Followup to issue 95259: ATSUI doesn't use the unicode rules for character 
mirroring in RTL-contexts. 
Instead it depends on the font providing the Mac-specific "prop" table 
(http://developer.apple.com/textfonts/TTRefMan/RM06/Chap6prop.html) and the 
glyph properties being 
set properly for every glyph. This table is usually not even available in 
third-party fonts, especially not for 
fonts targeted at other platforms. Even if that table is available the 
mirroring bits are often not set 
correctly for non-Hebrew/non-Arabic fonts.
