Old Italic has default LTR directionality, and directional overrides
have been specified to be used when RTL directionality is desired.
This mirrors the glyphs.

Egyptian Hieroglyphs have default LTR directionality, and directional
overrides have been specified to be used when RTL directionality is
desired. This mirrors the glyphs.

Old Hungarian should have default RTL directionality, and directional
overrides have been specified to be used when LTR directionality is
desired. This mirrors the glyphs.
