So you have broken the text at some character index boundary,
and find that without access to the complete text (ie without
context) TextLayout isn't doing what you want.
I think you need to either run Bidi yourself (java.text.Bidi)
on the whole string, or simpler, and better, use the API that
was designed for this case : java.awt.font.TextMeasurer, or
java.awt.font.LineBreakMeasurer. It will return a succession
of TextLayouts representing the whole paragraph.

hi --
By "end of line" I did mean the right side. I'm seeing this behavior
with Arabic embedded in English. I would expect the Arabic to appear on
the left, though, since the base direction of the entire text is
left-to-right. The way I'm splitting isn't preserving that information,
so I'll look into setting the base direction as Phil suggested.
Thanks for the help!

Isn't this behavior the correct one? Your first part is RTL, so it
is rendered at the right-hand side of the line (if this is what you
mean by the "end of the line"). Your second part is LTR so it is
rendered after it, but "after" is really "to the left of it" since
the sentence begins with the RTL part.
What RTL language are you using?
