Details

Currently, in gaia-icons [1], we have `left` and `right` flavor of each directional icons. We also have a bidi-helper.css that provides auto-mirroring icons for LTR/RTL switching. The goal of this bug is to investigate if we can use the `rtlm` feature of OpenType to do this at the font level, not at the css level.
