Right-to-left text in typewriter

Post by paulkaye »

When I use a right-to-left language in typewriter, the typewriter cell behaves the same as for a left-to-right language, with the "fixed" side of the typewriter cell being the left side, and the cell expanding rightwards as I type, with the first letter to have been typed migrating rightwards as I continue to type. Is there a way to make the typewriter behave appropriately for right-to-left languages?

Hello, paulkaye

At the moment, no, it is not possible to change the "anchor point" of the typewriter object. This is due to how the typewriter itself is interpreted, and stored in the PDF format, I will ask the Dev team if there is any way we can allow this to happen, but I cannot make any promises for implementation at this time.
