The base direction is used in applying the Unicode bidirectional
algorithm; if the @direction is %PANGO_DIRECTION_LTR or
%PANGO_DIRECTION_RTL, then the value will be used as the paragraph
direction in the Unicode bidirectional algorithm. A value of
%PANGO_DIRECTION_WEAK_LTR or %PANGO_DIRECTION_WEAK_RTL is used only
for paragraphs that do not contain any strong characters themselves.
Sets the base direction for the context.
