Yes Guys.<br>
<br>
This problem stand in face who want to use Scribus in more than 30% of whole<br>
world that using RTL in their language.<br>
<br>
Our past work in Arabic group we can Fix Two issues from three ..<br>
<br>
1 - RTL align<br>
2 - RTL shaping<br>
<br>
The third one that Scribus PDF extraction in these languages.<br>
So I hope that you fix PDF extraction issue soon as you possible<br>
And I'll try to re-write our patch here to be compatible with devel<br>
branch of Scribus.<br>
<br>
Best Regards<br>
