    I had a somewhat similar challenge to develop a small prototype of
    Tuareg (RTL and LTR) support for Tifinagh (Tuareg glyphs vary widely and
    may be wrtitten in a variety of directions).

    If you read French, read the bottom of
    http://hapax.qc.ca/pdf/Hapax%20Berb%E8re.pdf (from page 9 onwards).

    P. A.
    (Obvious mistakes in the PDF mentioned can still be corrected, I mention
    the "salt" feature but a "locl" feature could also do the trick or be
    better)
