Both should be trivial to patch. > * quesoglc uses: nFriBidiMirroredChars, fribidi_prop_to_type Apparently quesoglc includes a *copy* of FriBidi in its source tree.

The reason I did not bump the .so version was such that the new version is a drop-in replacement of the old series that adds Arabic shaping.
