You need the Unicode bidirectional layout algorithm. This is implemented in FriBidi <https://github.com/ldo/pybidi>, and that may be enough for simple text needs -- namely, those that can be rendered using the standard Unicode Arabic “presentation forms”. For more high-quality work, you will need a text-shaping library that understands OpenType glyph substitution/placement rules. Like HarfBuzz <https://github.com/ldo/harfpy>. _______________________________________________ Freetype mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype
