Re: Arabic

I have not done this before. I am unsure of how this could be done. Here is what comes to my mind: - I would think you would need to change the x-coordinate of the page to start from the top-right of the page -- instead of top-left. - The rendering of characters needs to be done from right to left. (Unless you do that already in your string generation code: basically flip the text.) - I wouldn't think you would need to manipulate anything with respect to the unicode characters. - The font needs to be provided or supported by pdflib. Please do let me know if you find an answer to this interesting problem. Regards. On 9/7/06, Ronald Cole <rcole@usip.org> wrote:

Hi,

        I'm trying to use pdflib to generate Arabic.

        Is this possible?

        If so, what font should one use?

        Someone has told me that I may need to manipulate the unicode

characters to change the order to right-to-left. Has anyone done this before?
