Broken Arabic even with config.rtl = true

[asatiir]

Hi, I'm facing problems with Arabic writing on the latest version of Ren'Py (6.99.12.4.2187). I tried following the instructions in this thread and even tried asking further and got no response, so I thought I'd make a new thread explaining my problem in detail since it seems to be a different problem.

I'm using Lateef as the font in case that helps sorting this out. Whenever I write anything in Arabic, it comes out broken like this:

what's written doesn't mean anything for those who can't read Arabic, but the letters need to be connected in order to be a word. I tried following the instructions in the previously mentioned thread by applying this piece of code in the script:

Code: Select all

init python:
    config.rtl = True
    style.default.font = "LateefRegOT.ttf"

which didn't help and I got this:


Am I doing something wrong here?

I still haven't found a solution, halp.

It's just working well for me...
