Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
shared method	CoreText	MBS MacCG Plugin	14.2	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

One of the constants to control aspects of the typesetter’s bidirectional text processing.

Disables bidirectional processing. Value must be a CFBoolean object. Default value is false. Normally, typesetting applies the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm as described in Unicode Standard Annex #9. If a typesetter is created with this option set to true, no directional reordering is performed, and any directional control characters are ignored.
Available in OS X v10.5 and later.
Deprecated in OS X v10.8.

Specifies the embedding level. Value must be a CFNumberRef object. Default is unset. Normally, typesetting applies the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm as described in Unicode Standard Annex #9. If present, this option specifies the embedding level, and any directional control characters are ignored.
Available in OS X v10.5 and later.
