It'll be really hard to achieve bi-directional text rendering when we're
rendering each character separately. Persian characters connect to each other
and if you render them separately they can't connect. I guess we should avoid
this "separate rendering" at least for Persian and Arabic languages (I don't
know about Hebrew.)

P.S.Sample Persian renders:
Consider this:
حروف به هم پیوسته
If you render each character separately you'll get this:
ح‌ر‌و‌ف ب‌ه ه‌م پ‌ی‌و‌س‌ت‌ه
As you think letters change their shapes if they're rendered separately.
