Issue Summary
hello, i have been using textimage module along with autoinsert module to convert my text into images and it ran like a charm with no problem. now i work in an Arabic website and i need to do the same thing. the problem now is that the characters appeared in a wrong way (reversed and un-joined). so my question is there any way to provide the textimage in way that support arabic and make the text show in right way.
the right one i'm trying to approach is :

oh i forgot to say that the problem isn't font related cause i have tried the most basic system fonts like (Arial & Tahoma) still have no luck with it

Hi,
Sorry for the inexcusably late response.
This is a duplicate of #470122: Accentuated letter, I am looking into an adequate fix for the issue, but haven't had much time to dedicate to Textimage of late.
Cheers,
Deciphered.

Hi,
Here is a patch that uses an external library to support Arabic fonts and characters.
#4
Fixed a critical error if library is not downloaded.

#6
where can i download the persian_log library
#7
If you apply the patch. You'll find a link to the persian_log library.
Anyway it's located here. http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4533&release_...
#8
after applying the patch and adding the library it still doesn't work. it display the Arabian characters but vise-verse and cutup. you can see example here:

Please note that the patch should be applied to the dev version.
You'll notice a checkbox, that indicates if the preset is used for Arabic fonts. Please check it. then test it.

when i use the dev verson an error appears to me which prevent me to make a new preset
user warning: Unknown column 'description' in 'field list' query: SELECT pid, name, description, settings FROM textimage_preset ORDER BY name in /home/pyraef3b/public_html/hosting/modules/textimage/textimage_admin.inc on line 657.

Uninstall, then Install again.
#12
yes you r right. once i uninstall and install again everything run okay. there is also another bug that i managed to fix:
warning: bidi::require_once(./unicode_data.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/pyraef3b/public_html/hosting/modules/textimage/persian_log/bidi.php on line 133.
i go to line 133 and changed require_once(./unicode_data.php) to require_once(unicode_data.php) and it worked without any problems now.
thanks for ur effort and help
