Does anyone know of any good way of handling right-to-left text?

[Böðvar Björgvinsson]

Hi Simon,

Somehow I managed this with arabic some years ago. We did the original in
Word and/or OpenOffice and then I either copy/pasted the text into FM or
imported the file (can't remember which), and, to my surprise, FM managed to
even keep the punctuation (commas and full stops) correct. That was FM 7.2.
But the whole time we had to change the language and country settings in
Windows to Arabic, and we even added the arabic keyboard for my Egyptian
colleague, who did the writing.
