Hello. I am wondering if there is a way to support right-to-left languages 
(arabic, hebrew, �) in R on  Mac?


>From my own experience and from this thread on SO 
>(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22423760/right-to-left-languages-support-in-r-using-mac)
> , there is currently a mac-only bug where right-to-left languages are 
>incorrectly displayed on mac.


For instance, if you run the line under. The xlab text provided will be wrongly 
displayed in the reverse order (left-to-right). Also the linkage between two 
consecutive letters (i.e. � connected to � would be ��) is broken.


plot(1:10,1:10,ylab="hello",xlab="����", cex.lab=4)


This bug seems to have been around for a long time (since at least R 2.15.0) 
and is still present in R 3.2.2
