Great to know that.

As Andreas planned [1], the first stage , which is " Implement a
box-oriented layout mechanism", has no thing to do with CTL text.
Right now, all the work done is to support Latin text. You can see
some screenshots & video of the current status of Boxes layout
implementation here: https://github.com/andreas-vox/ScribusCTL/pull/18
we want first to make sure that there is no regression in processing
Latin text, then we can move to add CTL support.
