You can enable the correct right-to-left writing order for the Textframes with the Button "R" on the Properties Palette. The issue with the connecting and shaping of the letters is still open though. |

Thanks for the tip, fschmid. Please, let me know if you need any help regarding the topic. This page http://freedesktop.org/Standards/bidi-spec may prove useful to you. |

Text layout issues are due for a fix with the new layout engine planned in 1.3. Still no ETA. |
|

I also just discovered this (which is a big disappointment! ): (1) The problem is clearly Scribus, not a font issue. I tried Arabic text with several different Arabeyes (http://www.arabeyes.org) fonts, as well as "Nazli". However, I recommend that testers stick with the Open Source fonts from arabeyes.org as they are available to everyone -- try "ae_AlMohanad", for instance. This is a very "normal" text font. (2) The problem is that Arabic letter-joining behaviour is missing. I don't really understand how this can occur. If you look at my attached image file (ScribusTestInternationalScripts-001.png), you will notice that Thai (the first text block) which is also a Complex Text Layout (CTL) script, is rendered correctly. But Arabic (the last text block) is not. ==> Tested using (1) Scribus 1.3.3 compiled from source on SuSE 9.3 and (2) Scribus 1.3.3 from RPM on SuSE 10.0 <== - Ed Trager |

>is it really resolved as in this report? >http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=7055 [^] No, that means that bug is a duplicate of this one. |

Can you tell me how long it is take ? because the thread was started at: 2004-09-15. |

Why is the severity marked as a feature? I think this is a major bug. |
|
|
@hasenj: it's marked as a feauture, because scribus currently does not support RTL languages nor complex script languages. it just happens, that: - some part of that languages' needs are supported for other reasons. - the story editor is a pure QT application, built with standard elements. even if it automaticallly allows RTL scripts, its technology can't be used for the main scribus' workspace. afaik, the team aknowledges that this is an important feature, which should be implemented as soon as possible, but many changes are needed to allow them |

Sorry, is this problem already solved? I have exaxctly the same problem with scribus version 1.4.0 rc5 (Build ID: C-C-T-F-C1.8.10-64bit Ghostscript-Version: 8.70 ) Kernel: Linux 2.6.34.10-0.2-default x86_64 Distribution: openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64) KDE: 4.4.4 (KDE 4.4.4) "release 3" |
|

it won't be supported in 1.4. probably at some time ni 1.5, on the road to 1.6... sorry... |
|
|
I need this bug to be fixed ASAP We're in 2012 :) |
|
|
We're in 2013 ;) If I am alive I will try to come every 9 years to remind you of this bug! Now, seriously, if some one is to pay to fix this bug, how much would it cost approximately? I might be able to help with this. |
|

It's the same reason as with Hebrew support. See my comments to 0001726. In short. Money isn't the problem, expertise with Arabic is. If you know a programmer who has the expertise, please tell him that he can help. |

Hi guys, hi Christoph_s I'm Sam from Tunisia, i have used Scribus and liked it a lot. the only problem was with this bug, so my searches lead me here and I'd like to help fixing the bug. I have knowledge of arabic language and basic programming, so I'll need some help myself to help resolve this. Thanks for answering. You can contact me on my e-mail address. |

Shamma, Working on this will be a big challenge. Explain your project and your skills on the mailing list. Hang on irc. Dont expect for too much feedback but expect to do a lot by yourself. Expect to work on your own because not many programmers are available as for now for scribus... or build a project, raise interest, organise a team... Somebody has worked on a 'indic language' version of scribus. You might be interested in trying this version https://launchpad.net/~ale-comp-06/+archive/scribus-git-indic and see if what works well and what does not (and do a public report afterward so everybody knows !) explore the patches that are in this version, learn from it. Explore the archives of the mailing lists and talk to the developper of this indic version (not 'ale', but 'anil'). The source is in the contributor's git repo see http://wiki.scribus.net/wiki/index.php?title=Git And most important : gain the trust of the official scribus core team, so as to get your patches merged. So as to do so, create fixes for other simpler bugs, propose perfectly tested patches that perfectly work and have them merged. It will be perfect for you to learn scribus too + Keep in contact. Keep devs regularly informed. |

New effort to support Complex Text Layout started (http://lists.scribus.net/pipermail/scribus-dev/2015-May/002519.html) Please spread the word. |

According to HOST-Oman team, these issues are fixed in the new CTL branch! See https://github.com/HOST-Oman/scribus/issues/75#issue-142809558 [^] There will be a build provided soon to test this fix OR one can build their branch manually. |

Host-Oman CTL branch was merged in 1.5.3svn r21563 |
