Hi Juris,
support for right to left languages is still experimental. But I am
currently trying to fix the most severe problems.
Check the "Installation" section of
http://code.pediapress.com/wiki/wiki/RightToLeft for how to get started.
The testing I am doing currently is for hebrew - therefore for arabic
even more problems can be expected. Currently it looks as if line
breaking is not done properly due to character shaping in arabic.
Regards,
Volker

I compared rendered arabic text with wiki article and I realised that
words are correct, but all the words in sentece are in reverse order.
E.g.
wiki article: "تعد الشمس أقرب النجوم إلى الأرض، وان طبيعة شمسنا ككرة
غازية ملتهبة بدلا من أن تكون جسما صلبا جعل الله لها بعض الحقائق "
rendered : "يوما بينما تطول هذه المدة في المناطق شمال وجنوب غازية
ككرة وان طبيعة شمسنا ،ضرألا إلى النجوم أقرب الشمس تعد "
yes and it is a bit scrambled aswell. Some letters are rendered in
wrong order, as far as i can tell (I dont know a word in arabic)

Hi,
I have not written that software. Maybe you can modify _getTextAlign()
in writer/styleutils.py. You could also have a look at
writer/formatter.py. Otherwise look for that rl-program that creates the
pdf output and pass parameters to it or modify it.
Squares might mean that the fonts are missing.
Best wishes,
Timo

Hello!
This is my first month on job after Univeristy and also it 3rd week I

How can I fix alignment of arabic text?
Sentences are scattered and 2 letter ( ال ) been replaced by square
after I fixed gaps beween letters.
Can anyone help - I am out of ideas.
