Right-to-left languages support

Sadly Blender doesn't support right-to-left languages such as Arabic or Hebrew. Now the "support" is there it's just the text is flipped, for example the alphabet אבגדה is flipped when you type it (you literally type it flipped).

example : Blender becomes rednel

Such a shame to leave out potential half a billion Blender users ;)

this could be very helpful. Until it will be ready, I made a simple add that help to flip the text blendermarket.com/products/rtl-text

this exists too as a free variant, and there's bunch of other tools. :) eliram.com/tools/flipheb.html

yes, but this addon is installed in blender so you can work much faster without copy your text every time to the browser and paste in back into blender

I just don't see how promoting your own addons is ethical on a feature request forum

Harley Acheson is focusing this year on text/font rendering. He is an amazing contributor doing this in his own time. Please go to the task and award a token of appreciation!
