The use of RLO/LRO overrides to force text orientation was really hackish and the way it was done caused dropped letters in Mac OS X (for some unknown reasons).
This new approach is much cleaner, except that it relies on features not advertised in documentation
but present at least from Qt 4.5 to Qt 5.3:
* TextFlag enum values TextForceLeftToRight and TextForceRightToLeft, which are strong versions
of QPainter::setLayoutDirection; they are passed as a parameter of QPainter::drawText.
* QTextLayout::setFlags method, which is required to pass the above flags to QTextLayout.
The unicode override method is still used to draw strings Mac OS X because, for some reason, the direction was not really enforced in this case.
The display of partially-selected word is now done in a new Painter::text method
which displays the string twice with different clip settings. This allows to
catter for the case where Color_selectiontext is not black.
Morover, the code that uses unicode override characters to force the
direction of a string is moved to lstrings.h.
Fixes: #9116
The old implementation of Row::Element::pos2x and x2pos did not work
correctly with Arabic text, because characters can have shapes that
depend on context.
This new implementation leverages QTextLayout in a simplified way,
since only one word is added to the layout.
This allows to make Row::Element::x2pos more readable.
Fixes: #9115.
This has the advantage of simplifying our code and to produce the
correct output: the small capitals should have the exact same width as
the lower case letters.
The slanted fonts are also translated to oblique on Qt side, but this
does not seems to have an effect in my testing. It may be that proper
oblique fonts need to be installed.

There are several places I was not sure what to do. These are marked
by comments beginning "LASSERT:" so they can be found easily. At the
moment, they are at:

The stmaryrd package adds support for lots of math symbols, using a font
designed to accompany the computer modern fonts. The changes in detail:
- Fix generate_symbols_list.py to work with stmaryrd.sty. It loooks like it
was automatically translated from a perl version and never used.
- Generate the new symbols in lib/symbols using generate_symbols_list.py and
add some manual adjustments
- Generate stmary10.ttf by a simple ttf export from stmary10.sfd with fontforge
- Add license info for stmary10.ttf
- Create a test file with all symbols from stmaryrd.sty. Actually it would be
nice to have this for the other fonts as well.
- The mechanics: lyx2lyx, tex2lyx, font machinery etc.
When creating the QFontMetrics object, we should specify a QPaintDevice. 0 is a paint device which is screen-compatible or pixmap-compatible. This makes sure that the correct DPI is used in font metrics calculations.

It also simplifies and fix the smallcaps case which was not correct WRT unicode. Even though I don't know if toUpper() means something in the non ucs2 range.
FYI, I used toqstr() to do the ucs4 -> ucs2 conversion when needed. This helper method works only with Qt >= 4.2.
* GuiFontMetrics::smallcapsWidth(): changed to work with single ucs4 characters.
* GuiFontMetrics::xxx(): make sure that font metrics works with characters not in the ucs2 range.
