Right to Left in Xara

[icaner]

Hello,
Is there a way or a workaround to write text with the text tool, right to left (for hebrew / arabic).
I do have the fonts, and see the characters on screen but the direction is opposite, and I did not find anyway to reverse it.

Any help is appreciated!

You can not get the letters to join in XX so I came up with this workaround:

Thank you!
I've also posted a support request - I think it's important enough to be added to Xara. I'll update the forum if I'll get something.

Would this help?

Seems to work perfectly fine when pasted into Xtreme.



You will need this font

This font is freeware and may be distributed as is and at no cost. It also soon will be featured at the Ancient Hebrew Research Center when they redesign their site here shortly. We thank them for including credit to us for this font on their new design, as we hadn't even asked for that. May God bless you all!

Note: You will have to install the font before you can view the attached .xar file correctly.

@ngmanage - These are all very old threads you are posting in. This one if from 2008 and most of the members who posted here have been gone from this forum for years.

I invite you to post some examples in the Xara Graphics Chat forum to show just how this product works with Xara Designer Pro X and Pro+.
