Florian:
I'd like to ask if anybody has ever tried to achieve this for Scintilla? Has anybody already found the "stumbling blocks"?
Neil has been useing the API "ExtTextOut" in rendering the text to the window. If you refer to the API documentation at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/gdi/fontext_2ks4.asp
You will see that this API has built in RTL support. So if we set the style of the control to WS_EX_LAYOUTRTL the text will be rendered properly and there is no need for special orientation and positioning calculations. The API will be responsible in this effort. I wrote a sample and everything went fine.
It should be noted that even if this usage did NOT conflict with some other functionality of or state maintained by Scintilla, this approach is ONLY applicable to the Windows platform...
