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 :

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.

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.

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
