Hello,
Thanks
for your attention, but encoding = BaseFont.IDENTITY_H is mandatory for RTL
strings otherwise nothing will be displayed on the screen (just an empty space)
and PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL should be applied too to rotate characters.
Without PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL you will see "tac" instead of
"cat". So there is no choice here. It doesn't matter css direction:rtl is
set or not. Without BaseFont.IDENTITY_H and PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL, the
result will be nothing or some garbage for RTL data.
Best regards,
Vahid

Hi
Thanks for bringing that to attention. At the moment rtl is not
supported.
I would not rely on a regex to determine the text direction after
all perhaps some one intend to display it in the other run
direction?
I would opt for using CSS to set the run direction. Just like in
html
{
direction:rtl;
}
the encoding should be settable in the same way, we can add an
xmlworker specific css property for that. Forcing .CP1252 is not a
good idea, that's right.
Thanks for the idea
ps: please don't hijack other threads, write a new message for a new
topic, I almost mist this mail.

run_direction should be set for PdfPCell and other similar elements to RTL.
