Hi dalai i know the fork i proposed is NOT the way it should be, i think going the further mile is the best approach, but that WILL take a big amount of time and commitment to revamp the text drawing aligorithm in blender.
So, i think doing a simple procedure of implementing the arabic_to_utf operator is best for more internationalization as currently there are no 3D package provide RTL languages in the text object. Another approach i found is using special font's with replaced char map with the language you want to implement, which what i use now, but we still need to reverse the order. here is a sample of the word "yousef" -> 'يوسف' : http://www.pasteall.org/pic/19489 > I would take a look at some library that we can used with freetype2 (our > current text drawing low-level library).
