There won't be a Graphics hint to affect bidi behaviour since that is completely un-related to the graphics. A text layout only needs a graphics instance so it knows where to send the already laid out text.
Perhaps what you want it to explicitly specify java.awt.font.TextAttribute.RUN_DIRECTION_LTR as the value for the attribute java.awt.font.TextAttribute.RUN_DIRECTION to your text layout constructor. This will over-ride the standard bidi behaviour. (see java.text.Bidi) -phil. Brien Colwell wrote:
hi All, I'm experiencing something interesting with TextLayout. If I render a string that has runs LRL, where L is left-to-right and R is right-to-left, everything looks good. However, if I render a string that has runs RL, the R run is rendered at the end of the line. I have a pretty tricked out Swing text view that breaks up lines in strange ways. I'd like to disable reordering altogether. Is there a graphics hint to do this? I'm also wondering if I'm totally off in thinking the TextLine is doing any reordering ... ? Displaying right-to-left text is not important to me. Since I'm not playing right with Swing's bidi root stuff, I need to be able to hack the text layout into shape.
