Thanks for your consideration.

I don’t know Arabic but I think Aspose.Pdf can support Arabic with truetype font and unicode.

Dear samgh147,

Thanks for your consideration.

Let’s use this thread to discuss the problem but not post at both 2 threads. Here is my test XML and I think the result pdf file is correct.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>



<Segment IsUnicode=“true” FontSize=“14”
TruetypeFontFileName=“c:/windows/fonts/artro.ttf”>
???





If it still won’t work, please let me know.

Dear Tommy Wang

Thank you for your consideration. but i think Apose must take into consideration that Arabic language is a Right to Left Lang and when you put two charachters or more they join (connect) together and do not remain saparated like in english.

and that exactly what hapend with us the word is written left to right (wich is reversed) and the charachters are seperated.

Best Regards

Dear Samer,

Thanks for your consideration.

I am sorry that I have not consider the right-to-left languages before. I am now working on table simplification and data integration which will be finished in early April. I have to consider add support for right-to-left languages after I finished my current work.

Dear Tommy,

Thanks anyways. and please notify me when you finish the right-to-left feature.

Best Regards
