I'm sorry if I'm a bit late. I'm in a middle of 'languages practice' project and when I'm about to write Arabic in Ren'py, it turns out to be separated fonts, not forming a word. Well, this is the one I want;
When I type into the script, it turns out to be like this:
I want to polish my writing skills in Arabic because I took a course require this language. Since it's boring to read just plain words, I want to make it as a kinetic novel so I can share it with others while improving my skill. So, what comes to my mind is, does Ren'Py can support this language or is there something I can do that makes this language can be used?
That will turn on RTL mode, which also handles ligaturization. You may also want to adjust xalign and text_align on various text-like things to right-align them.

Gee, thanks, Py Tom! But there's one problem; It's hard to type in the script. If I type 'abc', it became 'cba'. No problem when I play the game, but it's hard to type in script with this kind of problem.
I think you may need to look for a text editor that support Arabic better. Try editra, jedit, and then maybe look further afield? The combination of RTL and ligaturization makes Arabic tough to support, so not a lot of tools do it.
Although it's a terrible way to work, you might be able to write the text in a word processor, and then copy and paste it in to editra or jedit.
سلام!
