Comment(by shlomil):

 Ok, So I thought about it for a while and I don't think it's logical to
 include a Pango dependency just so we can view logs. I realized that the
 proper way to make it work might be to have the logs include the Unicode
 direction chars or, if we want an encoding independent solution, use the
 internal imhtml markup in the logs somehow. This is, IMO, the good,non-
 hack way to do it, but it might require bigger changes to the code.

 What do you think?
