The user interface learned Arabic and Urdu in late 2024. Printed output lagged: a report rendered left to right regardless of locale. This release makes the document engine follow the locale's direction.
Direction from the locale
- Determined once Directionality is derived from the locale, its script or its language, with a fallback when none is known.
- Applied to the layout The writing mode is set on block containers and components, and the renderer switches mode when the locale is right-to-left.
Shaping and type
- Complex scripts Ligatures and bidirectional text are enabled in the formatting processor.
- Dubai The Dubai font family is embedded in light, regular and bold.
Accessible PDF output came in December 2024; right-to-left output completes the document engine for the Gulf and South Asian markets.
