Hansie Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Good day I am trying to use Arabic text and it does not seem to display correctly. Is there a specific font I should be using ? Thank you J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Have you tried creating the text with a text editor or wordprocessor, copying it, and then pasting it into the Videopad text box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationalsolo Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Hi Do a Google search for Arabic fonts. Apparently there are many to choose from....... https://org.uib.no/smi/ksv/ArabicFonts.html Once a font is installed in your PC font folder it should list in the text editor font list although if it can be used as such I doubt. i.e. No of characters, keyboard being used L-R parsing etc. Probably the easiest way is to use Google Translator. Enter Translate into the browser search box. Enter the english text on the left and the Arabic text should appear on the right......... Now select and Copy the translated text and paste it into the VP text editor ...... It can now be placed as text on/in your project....... Of course, not being an Arabic speaker or reader, I have no idea whether this reads.."The cat sat on the mat" or "mat the on sat cat The" or even..."tam eht no tas tac ehT" It might even be complete gobbledygook. but it illustrates a method that might be used. (It has worked for Hebrew text) Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
