Retrospective commit from 2009-10-17. Continue working on display of R2L glyph rows. Reverse glyphs in term.c:append_glyph rather than in extend_face_to_end_of_line. Fix bidi iteration near BEGV and ZV. dispextern.h (struct glyph): New members resolved_level and bidi_type. xdisp.c (append_glyph, append_composite_glyph) (produce_image_glyph, append_stretch_glyph): Set them. term.c (append_glyph): Ditto. xdisp.c (display_line, next_element_from_buffer): Set the glyph row's reversed_p flag if the paragraph base direction is odd. (extend_face_to_end_of_line): Don't reverse the glyphs here. term.c (append_glyph): Reverse glyphs here. bidi.c (bidi_get_next_char_visually): Don't exit early when at ZV. (bidi_paragraph_init): Don't step over a newline if at BEGV. (bidi_paragraph_init): Handle empty buffers.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-p in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
