	 * When the cursor position is i, is the cursor is after the i-th char
	 * or before the i+1-th char ? Normally, these two interpretations are
	 * equivalent, except when the fonts of the i-th and i+1-th char
	 * differ.
	 * We use boundary_ to distinguish between the two options:
	 * If boundary_=true, then the cursor is after the i-th char
	 * and if boundary_=false, then the cursor is before the i+1-th char.
	 *
	 * We currently use the boundary only when the language direction of
	 * the i-th char is different than the one of the i+1-th char.
	 * In this case it is important to distinguish between the two
	 * cursor interpretations, in order to give a reasonable behavior to
	 * the user.
