If memory serves (and it often doesn't in my case), the La Mojarra stela 
text is not made of reversed glyphs, but rather has a section which is 
read in reversed order (right to left, rather than left to right), but 
the individual glyphs are not reversed as is the case on, say, Yaxchilan 
Lintel 25.
