Arabic

[Stefan De Laere]

Hello,

As you know, Arabic is written from Right To Left. How should we 
use the metrics to display Arabic strings ? 

Currently we follow the ftstrto example program :
-> x - advance
-> x + bearingX 
-> draw the bitmap
-> x - advance

Is this the correct way, because sometimes the spacing looks a bit 
odd ?

Regards,
