Moho 12 is not supporting Arabic words

Post by imwm »

hello I was an anime studio 11 user , i love it and when i see the new features of Moho 12 i purchased it immediately .
sad that anime studio 11 not supporting Arabic words also Moho 12 does !
is there any way or update to solve this problem it is hard and waste of time to save every words from different software as SVG and import it to Moho?

Looks like the biggest difference is it's written left-to-right, when Arabic should be right-to-left. If so, just flip it.

it wont solve the problem because in Arabic letters must connect to each other and when flip it also the letters will change

Just a few thoughts about Text tool...

In general, I think the Text tool in Moho needs to be tossed out and re-designed. I guess it 'does the job' but when I need more than a word or two of text, I want to avoid using it.

To me, the Text panel's UI is clunky and its performance is really sluggish, which leads me to think the tool is hampered by legacy code. For example, on my computer, clicking any of the panel's drop down menus takes several seconds before the choices appear, and the UI may flash and redraw a few times before getting there. Moho seems to struggle with the panel and it's the only tool that behaves this poorly. (And I'm pretty sure it's not my computer--everything about Moho is super responsive on this computer.)

Getting back on subject, if the Text tool does get a reboot, I think it should also support more text formatting options--not only to accommodate middle eastern language text formatting but Asian language text formatting too. We have many international Moho users in this forum who will appreciate this, and such enhancements can only broaden the appeal of Moho around the world.
