Arabic Typo Support

[Ammar]

Hi

We still can't design arabic applications in Affinity when we expect it will support arabic language ? I find it strange

since the operating system supports the language ?

Kindest Regards

And how do they relate to each other?

When you develop a software you use controls provided by the operating system.

Of course, to display text in dialog boxes, in button descriptions, in window titles, etc.
I don't know what OS you're using, but do you really assume, that all these text operations are performed by the OS, and applications (like Affinity) only display them?

@Pšenda,

Don't think the OP is here for a Quiz by you! You understand clearly what he asked!

Of course, I understand what the OP asked and what, like many others, he requested.
But if you've noticed, I'm responding to his statement - that there's no reason for problems with RTL text, because the OS can do it. Which surprises me, and I'm trying to find out where he bases his claims on.
In my opinion, this ability of the OS to display basic texts and rendering texts in Affinity is not related at all - see Serif's repeated reactions that reworking texts on RTL will be demanding and quite essential (and therefore cannot be expected any time soon).

Maybe you should first try to figure out the context of my question (according to you of my Quiz).
