Arabic Support

Is Helios thinking of adding Arabic support and right-to-left typing?

Thanks,

I wonder if you're considering Arabic support cause textpad displays Arabic ok but not in the right direction, meaning not using right to left order even after changing the font to Arabic, it sometimes works but the default stays the same.

so in Arabic "hello world" looks like "world hello"
and if I wrote something like "hello أهلا world" and tried to select the Arabic word in-between to delete it, it just deletes other parts of the sentence.
plz consider this suggestion

Of course, this would be a lot easier to do if TextPad used Unicode internally!

I can't even get it to type text in Arabic. If I paste Arabic text into TextPad I either get "junk" characters or question marks ("?").
