Arabic language support

Applicable Environment

Topic: Arabic language support in Photon
SDP: 6.5.0
Target: Any supported target

Solution

________________________________________________________________________

As of 6.5.0 we don"t support Arabic fonts in Photon. Nor do we support Arabic input.

The main issue is the direction in which Arabic text is laid out: the text goes from right to left which we don't support. Customers have worked around this limitation by just printing Arabic text and numbers separately or did all printing with images. Fonts are available from third party vendors.
