libass rendering unicode control character with arabic subtitles

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. play any ASS file that has unicode control characters (like left to right 
mark)
2.notice the I-like characters.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
control characters are to be hidden. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using mplayer2 from http://mplayer2.srsfckn.biz/mplayer2-x86_64-20120430.7z
(I couldn't find a way to find out the libass version in this build)

Please provide any additional information below. If relevant, please attach
the ASS/SSA script file and any fonts used in it.

Your libass is probably using FriBiDi's shaping engine instead of HarfBuzz's. 
For some reason, HarfBuzz shaping is not activated by default in libass 0.10. 
You can compile it with mplayer2 with the option activated.
