DescriptionArabic letters and fonts is separated not joined,
and Right to Left feature not work correctly.
It's originally must be joined and connected correctly.
The problem is founded also with Persian, Syriac, Urdu and Thai languages.

I think you can fix the problem by using fribidi2 library.

To get Arabic shaping and joining correctly must "freetype2" text renderer compiled with "fribidi2".
