The patch of reportlab's lib based on fribidi is too unclean to be applied at this stage for v6.0, but the good news is that the other part of the patch with the font substitution in OpenERP (coming from base_report_unicode) has been applied on trunk and will be built-in in v6.
For the rest I will mark this item as wishlist and we will schedule it for v6.1, as this will require a more careful implementation and extensive testing...

Fortunately people that need it in the mean time can now refer to this bug to find the workaround to implement it in their system. I also updated the wiki page mentioned in the blog post, to link to the current bug: http:// openobject. com/wiki/ index.php/ Developers: Developper' s_Book/ Reports/ ReportsUnicode
Thanks!
