Processing does not support writing function names and variables in arabic; if i understand correctly, processing uses java in the backend; and if i understand correctly, java can handle unicode function names and variable names. if processing can take care of this as well, it would be awfully great as it makes it easier to experement while relate to terminology users create and are familiar with !
We handle Unicode, but right-to-left text is very, very difficult to implement. I'll change the title from “Usage of non-latin function names and variables”, because we support many non-Latin scripts (Chinese, Japanese), but just not right-to-left reading (Arabic, Hebrew, etc).
Greetings, the issue/request was specifically about function names and variable names (calling a function named رسم, having a variable named نقاط), the RTL issue is not the problem, the code is perfectly readable from left to right when it is mixed rtl/ltr scripts are in use, selecting a "good" font will renders the glyphs correctly (so shaping works fine, function names and variable names are usually one word too). if function names and variable names can be used in chinese and japanese then i guess my request/issue is a false alarm. I will repeat my tests and share findings.
