(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #7)
Is there really need to have two versions of icons, LTR and RTL? I have
never seen such an overkill, IMHO, and would rather attribute it to badly
designed icons if they don't fit in RTL - not mirrored.

No, separate LTR and RTL versions are needed only for a few select icons --
those dependent on text direction. For example: undo, redo, (the new Tango
icons use color to distinguish the two), superscript, subscript, bullets,
numbering, and I'm sure there are some more, but it's not very many.

On the other hand it makes sense for the bullets. So why don't we prepare a
special icon set for RTL, i.e. put designers in charge and not the devs.

It'd be very easy to do -- we just need devs to make it so that an RTL setting
prefers icons suffixed with "_rtl" and doesn't flip any icons. It'd be good to
get a list of the icons that LibreOffice currently flips, so that we have a
list of RTL icons to make.
