As far as I am aware, there is not yet a port of SDL_Pango to Mac OS
X. I'd be willing to try to port it, which shouldn't be too difficult
since SDL_Pango only uses the FT backend. However, it may make the Mac
binary significantly harder to build, and quite a bit larger as well.

Wesnoth apparently uses some sort of mix of SDL_ttf and Fribidi to
deal with RTL languages:

. Are there any other reasonable solutions?
