[reportlab-users] RTL Support

[Andy Robinson]

That's good to know!

However, the 'drawString' case is easy.  We're just reversing a string.  It
would get harder if you needed RTL support inside wrapping paragraphs, with
variations of font and formatting, and with 'English inside Arabic inside
English'.    I'm hoping simple strings will work for you ;-)
