Hello
I remembered why I got into trying to get RTL to work in the first place. It
is because "text-anchor:end;" doesn't work for text on a <textPath>. Has
anyone else found this and are there any workarounds ?
Some sample SVG is given below - it basically has three lines with text
oriented along the lines. YOu can do text along a line with a text-anchor of
start but not end. middle is OK as long as you have a startOffset of 50%. I
have tried putting the style attribute for this in text, tspan and textPath
elements but to no avail.
Help would be very welcome.
Thanks
Chris
