[pkg-lynx-maint] Bug#822958: lynx: bidi text rendering is broken

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: lynx
Version: 2.8.9dev9-1
Severity: normal

Bi-directional text rendering is broken. See

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-left_mark

as an example in mlterm. I've attached 2 screenshots:

* lynx289-84.png with lynx 2.8.9dev8-4 (testing)

* lynx289-91.png with lynx 2.8.9dev9-1 (unstable)

With lynx 2.8.9dev9-1, the exclamation mark is no longer at the
correct place. With lynx 2.8.9dev8-4, there was also an issue: the
replacement characters after "the order of the Hebrew characters is".

Note: in the same mlterm, the w3m browser is OK.
