Hello All:
Having an issue with Arabic font support using matplotlib. When using the
correct font, Arabic characters are displayed, but are not joined together
properly; and they are also not in the correct order (the font rendered is
ltr, but Arabic is a rtl language). Is this an issue with the render I am
using, or some incompatibility within matplotlib? Sample source code used
(please note, your email client should support utf8 to display the code
correctly).
#-*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from pylab import *
figure(1) # the first figure
plot([1,2,3])
figure(1) # figure 1 current
title(u'برهان',name='Times New Roman') # figure 1 title
savefig('test.png')
savefig('test.eps')
show()
Output when run from the command line:
