    There is a nice web page containing samples of many languages:

        http://www.trigeminal.com/samples/provincial.html

    Some of the texts contain a question mark at their left side.

    The fonts display fine if you have a Unicode font installed, such as
    Arial Unicode MS on the Windows-based systems. For some reasons, the
    right-to-left feature does not work with Opera (7.11, MS Win 98), but
    Mozilla (1.4) and MS IE (6.0) is OK.
