[FriBidi] Hebrew diacritics in incorrect positions

[Dov Grobgeld]

T
​he Unicode bi-directional algorithm, which FriBidi implements, does not
deal with positions of glyphs at all, but only with the glyph order, and in
some cases with glyph substitutions. To get correct positioning you must
use a shaping engine (e.g. pango or the more low level Harfbuzz).
Especially for something as subtle as Hebrew diacritics positioning.​

Dov
