Using PDF Vole to examine the PDF files and reading the PDF specification, I've
come to the conclusion that PDF renderers such as Adobe Acrobat version 9.0 do
not implement BIDI or glyph form shaping.
Rather it is the job of the software that produces the PDF to ensure that the

Not yet. In any case, relying on AWT classes for positioning text is a
poor strategy in my opinion as the AWT implementation varies wildly
between JDK Vendor, Operating/System and JDK build. Which is too many

but the solution was not complete (see
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42307).
Without spending too much time looking into this, I am of the impression
that there is not a singular place w
Is there a way the software team at InterSystems could work with you (the FOP
