That's a tough one, pygame has full unicode support and the "build-in"
font set has caracters that looks to me to be arabic ?
The bidirectional stuff is not so much a pygame problem, i think,  
pygame just converts a string in a image object by using the ttf  
descriptions.
So if you pass a arabic font it will get converted.

I will look into that, and let you know.

PS Bruno i'm pretty far with the high-level API on top of pygame, but i  
think i don't have the time to finished before freedem so i'll show it  
to you there.
