Hi;
In a font SOP, is there any way to use “Persian” or “Arabic” fonts in Houdini?

Thanks.

I tested it, and it seems to not work very well with right-to-left script. On windows the fonts Arial and Calibri will render Arabic script with the font sop, but the letters are out of order.

So, I hope SideFX developers pay attention to Persian/Arabic languages.

You can use illustrator files as geometry so you can get correct Arabic into a scene like that but would be nice to have native support for these languages.

Yes, that's an important feature to add. Right to Left languages in general.

Hopefully one of you logged an RFE for this.
