Right-to-left Languages

DocSpring has some basic support for right-to-left languages, including Arabic and Hebrew.

When DocSpring detects Hebrew or Arabic text, we will automatically set the PDF to render right-to-left. We will also set the font to Arial for any fields that contain Hebrew or Arabic text. Please contact [email protected] if you need to use a different font.

Note: We are also planning to add support for custom fonts in the future.
