I'm very sorry, but currently FreeType is just me (since David is swamped with real work). I already invest far too much time into answering emails and fixing bugs; I simply can't afford to open another channel. The list isn't high-volume (which you can easily check by looking up the archives), so I invite you to subscribe.

BTW, where's the difference to a forum where you have to register yourself, waiting for a confirmation email, acknowledge it, and then you can start to post a question? An email list behaves the same.

i'm sure the mailing list would return an answer, but i don't want go through the process of signing up for a (possibly high volume) mailing list even though I'm only interested in a simple question.

A forum or support email would be my suggestions.

Why doesn't the mailing lists work for you? I can't believe that. Most questions are answered within a short time frame.

BTW, I have given an answer to your question in a previous comment, so it has worked (but this is still a bug report database).

The only support options I found were the mailing list or creating a bug report. Neither really worked for me, thats all i'm saying.

What do you mean with `more support options'? You've opened
a BUG report – where is the bug?

I appreciate the response. Thanks.

Sorry for asking a question here, I didn't want to signup for the list for just 1 question. I think you should offer more support options. But again, thanks for your response.

Cheers,
anand

FreeType has the same support for right-to-left as it has for left-to-right: none. The direction of a script is something to be handled (at least) one level higher than FreeType, which only renders a glyph and nothing else.

BTW, filing a bug report for an ordinary user question is rather inappropriate. Please contact the -unavailable- list instead.

I couldn't find any information on the site about this after a lot of looking. Some documentation implied Freetype did support right-to-left fonts, but nothing explicit.

Please help!
Thanks,
