I have a table with cells where there is horizontal Japanese including English in parenthesizes. The Japanese is presented correctly after conversion as well as the English, however the parenthesizes are turned the same direction as the Japanese instead of the same direction as the English text which is enclosed.
Expected outcome is that the parenthesizes keeps the same direction as the English text. This is the behavior that Adobe Acrobat has and also Word if saving to PDF.
Have attached example files and source. One is generated by Aspose and one is saved from Word.

Any update on WORDSNET-19955?
@Robert_Karlsson
Please use the following code example to get the better output. However, the parentheses overlaps the adjacent characters. We will fix this issue and inform you when it is resolved.
Document doc = new Document(MyDir + @"Direction.docx");
doc.LayoutOptions.TextShaperFactory = HarfBuzzTextShaperFactory.Instance;
doc.Save(MyDir + "20.4.pdf");
Thanks @tahir.manzoor but if it overlaps text then i will have to keep it as is.
I will check how i can upgrade my account to paid support.

Is there any update on when this issue could be fixed?

Unfortunately, there is no update available on this issue at the moment. You issue is related to another issue WORDSNET-15357 (Japanese text does not render correctly in output PNG/PDF). After the fix of this issue, we will look into your issue. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
