It works fine for me, thanks.
However, using LRO..PDF means that no label on a key can use a string
that needs to be reordered. That's because the LRO overrides the
bidirectional properties of all the following characters to be strong
L. If we can live with this limitation, I agree that this is better.
But I think you said earlier that such a restriction is more than we
can bear.
