Hi ab300064,

I assume you have mixed up LTR with RTL.

We don't currently support RTL text I'm afraid. This is something we would like to add support for in the future.

Thanks

Don't understand why doesn't Serif cooperate with this company in Israel?

Simply reversing a string of text is easy. Doing all the other things that are needed to make a DTP app is less so. I haven't reviewed RTL Fixer so I don't know how far it can go.

I can "type" Persian today using the Glyph browser. It is slow and cumbersome, but it can be done. Typing even one verse from the Shahnameh was slow but I did it in after a few minutes. It also renders to PDF correctly. So the functionality of RTL text does exist to a certain extent in Affinity's apps. Perhaps when the scripting API comes round it would be possible to do this far more easily.

To be honest, you were saying the same sentence for over the past 6 years. For something that 99% of the professional software on the planet have, you seem you are not planning on supporting RTL ever. I create content for social media account and I was hoping to find a reason to stick to affinity, but when I reach the final step of the content or post I created, I am forced to export and use another software. It's completely not logical not to support RTL in 2022 although the API is widely spread in the Internet.

Please support RTL.
