Add Arabic Typeface Support, Please!

[Fadfad]

I've been using Affinity Designer for as long as I can remember. But one big problem that I have is that AD still doesn't support Arabic Typeface, since I use it most of the time. So I have to move to another software just to export the Arabic text. If you can add this feature, I think it will be a great update for most of the users. Thank you.

Try searching for "RTL" before adding recurring requests.

I hope the new version of Affinity Publisher will support Arabic.

RTL is an overpriced plugin, ridiculously overpriced.

RTL isn’t a plugin, it’s simply an abbreviation for ‘Right To Left’.

Given that the price of RTL Fixer is close to the discounted price at which the Affinity apps are frequently available, it’s hard to view it as anything but overpriced! However, I suppose we should make allowances for the fact that ArtWayz is clearly a much smaller software house than Serif.

As I’ve mentioned in other threads, Serif had to get outside help to add Arabic support to one version of their legacy software product line, and it seems unlikely that they’ve since developed the necessary in-house expertise to do it all themselves the next time around.
