For myself and my goals. Yes, I only want to display RTL language and in its one container. I do not know if that is the appropriate GUI terminology. I am wanting to do some textual comparison of Hebrew, Greek and English texts. Other languages later. They will each need to be synced with each other by either row by row (line by line) or with text in columns. Each language in its own row or column depending on the desired view. I will want to edit each language appropriately in its container. IDE or workspace/playground support is not required at this time. Is it reasonably achieve this in a Pharo app using the latest Pharo GUI, GT, Spec, Bloc, Brick, ...? If so, then I will start learning and get going. If not I will look elsewhere for accomplishing this project. But Pharo is my first choice. I would love to not have to move to Qt or JavaFX or some such. Thanks.

Hi Jimmy,
AFAIK thereâs no IDE support for RTL languages. You only want to be able to display the strings correctly though, right?
Iâm pretty sure that itâs already possible to load the font. The problem is probably with the editors and workspaces. They would need to be told to display the string differently.
Cheers, Max

Hello,
I briefly tried to copy/paste, read from file, some Hebrew text. I simply get some strange characters.
From a brief search of the archives. I did not find any means of doing a right to left language. I also am not sure how to use a Hebrew font. Font issues would also apply for when I want to use Greek.
What would be needed to do right to left and use the right Hebrew font?
I believe these issues would also apply to anyone wanting Arabic or any other such languages.
The last message I can easily find is in August of 2014. Maybe Pharo isn't the right tool for this job at the moment. But I did want to explore the potential of it being so.
Thanks for any help.
