Pdfmake: Arabic support

[devmondo]

hi,

i have tried the playground, but it seems that it does not support right to left languages like Arabic and Hebrew , is it possible?

thanks in advanced.

[jthoenes]

No, its not possible currently.

[devmondo]

thank you, i hope it would soon

[moravcik]

+1 for this feature, actually this is a showstopper for our current project

[jthoenes]

@moravcik we're happy to accept pull request if you want to work on it.

[moravcik]

@jthoenes I think it should definitely be somebody with Arabic background, which is not my case

It would be a great feature, if its support for arabic characters.

RTL(Right to Left) , for arabic fonts supported or not? Pls provide some solution..

[Hodor9898]

3 years and still no support for rtl languages? shitty support to be honest

[liborm85]

Arabic characters are supported. Only RTL is required, feature request: https://github.com/bpampuch/pdfmake/issues/184

Closed.

Nothing seems to work out of the box for Arabic in PDF Export

[liborm85]

I don't know what is PDF Export, but as described above in pdfmake arabic characters are supported (of course it must support the font). Only RTL is not supported now.
