Annex A Worked examples

Defines the technical means to handle bi-directional text in character-imaging devices in case of: texts in a single script of which specific parts need to be presented in an opposite direction (for example, numbers in Arabic or Hebrew); texts in different scripts presented in opposite directions (like Latin and Arabic or Latin and Hebrew); texts presented with a horizontal line orientation and a top-to-bottom line progression.
