Hebrew Fonts #119
Comments
You're right, we don't take direction into account when rendering the font, assuming LTR direction. I wouldn't trust kerning values in the other direction. You should reverse kerning pairs then as well. Is there an open-source Hebrew font I can test with? |
This site has lots of info about Hebrew fonts and a bunch of them for free. |
Another issue with blind reversal might be diacritics: לַגּוֹפָן יֵשׁ נִקּוּד מְתֻכְנָת |
@davelab6 : Yeah, that's why I removed it... |
Just found this discussion here. |
Indeed, and even more than one design was done for Hebrew…! The addition of the Arabic/Hebrew (both with full diacriticals) to existing base

@davelab6 I'm curious – what's the fonts.gstatic.com domain? Is that an "official" place to download OTF fonts? |

Has anybody looked into this? Arabic support seems good, which also has RTL scripts. Here is my Cuttle test project. Hebrew puts the characters in the wrong order. In addition, the marks are misplaced in the basic example. Cuttle supports many Google fonts, and you can find fonts by searching "hebrew" in the font picker. |
I noticed that when loading a right-to-left font (like a Hebrew font), the letters get generated from left to right.
Is this by design?
If I reverse the input string (assuming I know the language and there are no mixed characters), would the kerning be correct?
