Hello DEV team, First off, huge respect and gratitude to the QGIS core team and contributors for building such an incredible open-source GIS tool. The work done here is phenomenal!
I wanted to open a discussion around a long-standing challenge that significantly impacts cartographers working with Right-to-Left (RTL) scripts (such as Kurdish, Arabic, Persian, etc.): complete RTL text rendering support. While basic RTL text rendering works well in many standard places, it frequently breaks during advanced cartographic styling—most notably with curved/along-line labels, map annotations, callouts, and multi-line formatting. Here are several open GitHub issues tracking these challenges: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/57123 https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/65311 https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/21940 https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/54098 While these may look like minor visual bugs from the outside, they create major bottlenecks for daily professional mapping workflows in RTL languages. I wish I had the C++/Qt background to jump in and submit PRs myself! Finally, I appreciate if dev team pay attention to better RTL support. Again thanks for your efforts. Best Regards. Nabaz
