<div>Hi Yousef</div><div><br></div>are you able to build your own Blender for testing? I reversed all the arabic strings in ar.po. I wonder if this produces a readable result<div>(I expect the hinting and other font aspects to still be a big problem).<div>
<br></div><div>The flipped po is here - <a href="http://blenderecia.orgfree.com/blender/scripts/ar_flipped.po">http://blenderecia.orgfree.com/blender/scripts/ar_flipped.po</a></div><div>Here the patch against garlic: <a href="http://blenderecia.orgfree.com/blender/scripts/arabic_flipped.patch">http://blenderecia.orgfree.com/blender/scripts/arabic_flipped.patch</a></div>

think they should choose a font. I'll add the [How to change font] section
in wiki later.</i></u></pre><br></div>no i can't, as the letter order are reversed, you probably won't see the order right in your OS unless you install RTL languages support.<br><br>here are a site i use when using text in blender, <a href="http://textmechanic.com/Reverse-Text-Generator.html" target="_blank">http://textmechanic.com/Reverse-Text-Generator.html</a><br>
