           Summary: Arabic words are broken for rendering PDF from FOP
           Product: Fop
           Version: 0.20.5
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows 2000
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: pdf renderer
        AssignedTo: fop-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
                CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Lack of support for multi-language seems to be happening in FOP. 

Arabic is right to left, and there are rules for joining letters. 

We did the following steps listed in 
http://www.javaranch.com/journal/200409/CreatingMultipleLanguagePDFusingApacheFO
P.html

However, the Arabic words are able to display letter by letter, but the words 
are broken. No glyphs to join letter with letter...

Initially we thought it may be the font problem. Then we tried download quite a 
number of Arabic fonts, (like tradbdo.ttf, trado.ttf, nesf2.ttf, 
Nafees_Naskh.ttf etc.) The font that contains most glyphs are Nafees_Naskh.ttf, 
which contains 581 number of glyphs. However, after rendering pdf using FOP, 
the words are still broken.
