History

#1 Updated by Nyall Dawson over 8 years ago

  • Status changed from Open to Feedback

What's the actual issue here? Is it that the text isn't rendered right-to-left? It's hard for a non-arabic speaker to know what's involved here.

  • Status changed from Feedback to Open

2 problems:
1- The Curved option, swaps the order of the text. In the parallel it is "Somewhere Street", and in the curved, it is: "TEERTS EREHWEMOS"
2- It also capitalises all the letters (not really the right term in Arabic...but close)
