It would be nice.
BTW: I'm interested in it. Where could I look for the last code?

I could confirm but to err is human. It works for me and hopefully will
work for others. At least I was trying to do it right and carefully. I
use Cyrillic alphabet and have no issues with the fix. Anyway any
feedback (testing) from people using Hebrew and Arabic languages would
be much appreciated. I believe the code works at least a bit better and
causes no breakage for anything else. :)

I think the current Unicode printing isn't the right thing in any case
even with these patches since real glyph info should not be static but
extracted from the used font itself.
