    Ignore my previous question. In fact my previous test files where created
    manually, but with the wrong position for the ROL override. It works with this
    sample:

    <html>
    <head><title>Test BiDi overrides</title></head><body>
    <div style="margin:1px 1px;border:1px solid blue;width:300px;padding:1px 1px;">

    <p style="font-family: sans-serif;">Latin &rlo;test1&pdf; test2</p>
    <bdo dir="rtl"><p style="font-family: sans-serif;">Latin &rlo;test3&pdf;
    test4</p></bdo>
    <bdo dir="ltr"><p style="font-family: sans-serif;">Latin &rlo;test5&pdf;
    test6</p></bdo>

    <p style="font-family: 'JG Mende';">PUAs &rlo;test1: &#xE000;&#xE002;&#xE005;
    &pdf; test2: &#xE000;&#xE002;&#xE005;</p>
    <bdo dir="rtl"><p style="font-family: 'JG Mende';">PUAs &rlo;test3:
    &#xE000;&#xE002;&#xE005; &pdf; test4: &#xE000;&#xE002;&#xE005;</p></bdo>
    <bdo dir="ltr"><p style="font-family: 'JG Mende';">PUAs &rlo;test5:
    &#xE000;&#xE002;&#xE005; &pdf; test6: &#xE000;&#xE002;&#xE005;</p></bdo>

    </div></body></html>

    Here I prefered using &rlo; and &pdf; in HTML but for plain-text or older
    browsers, it would probably be better to use the numeric codepoints of these
    controls (and care of their placement in a plain-text document, something I
    forgot to check...).
