LyX has bidi code for displaying the document on screen. When you print the
document, it uses latex, so the bidi engine of LaTeX is used.
The bidi code of LyX, like the bidi of LaTeX, assumes explicit markup
of the direction changes. For bidi Emacs you need implicit bidi code,
and therefore, the LyX code may not be useful.
You should probably use fribidi (and maybe pango).
