Comment 5 for bug 493168

Thanks for the thoughts guys.

Abdellah, I'll take a look at 'The Free Ressam', but it won't be before this 0.8.0-alpha6 release. There's a lot to look at already, so I'm focused on just fixes for serious bugs for the moment. :)

Khaled, Pango is being used for some parts of things, but it's still not quite enough. :)

There are lots of parts that need to be updated for RTL, including the display of text in the working area using Pango.

It needs to:

 a) Display correctly in RTL fashion in the working area (bottom right)
 b) Display correctly in the "edit box" part of the text layer dialog
 c) Save RTL text correctly into project files
 d) Load RTL text correctly from project files
 e) Export RTL text correctly to swf (and also to HTML5 or whatever other output may be added for beta1)

I think it'll be a reasonable amount of effort, though not huge. That's why it's been targeted to the 0.8.0-beta1 release instead of this present 0.8.0-alpha6.

Hope that's ok. :)
