I have no idea about GUI or Rad programming in D; it's not its

This is a topic where we trying to make a custom message box
supporting Arabic as what's supposed to be, but we didn't
reach although that the degree we want:

I am very confused by this question.
That has nothing to do with the programming language: it has
all to do with the GUI toolkit you use (lazarus in that case).
If you used lazarus with D instead of Pascal (if it is
possible), you would have the same limitations in D.
If you use another GUI toolkit in D/Pascal (e.g. GTK3, Qt5, Tk,
etc.), you will have the limitations of that toolkit, which may
or may not support Arabic text.
So, the reason is the toolkit. I guessed D has specific library
for GUI, and with that I judged D as whole that if it supports
Arabic or not.
Also I don't understand you saying "it's not its time"; there
are plenty of GUI programs written in D. :/
I mean "my own time" that I'm still studying D basics, so I'll
study GUI programming at another time, but if there are available
resources for GUI, I would like to take a look in 'em.
