RTL Support

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND

RTL Support on the desktop app (Windows, Linux, and probably Mac too but I don’t use Mac so I don’t know for sure).
There’s already RTL support on mobile but I think it’s built in. RTL support and maybe improvements to the Hebrew font in the desktop app would be a huge improvement to my experience. sometimes I need to write some of my objects or relations in Hebrew, and the lack of RTL support and the font makes it look bad.

HOW COULD IT BE DONE

Recognise text that needs RTL support and apply RTL on it.
Add support for Hebrew in the font or replace the fallback font to something that will look a little bit more readable and better.

REAL WORLD USE CASES

Any text in Hebrew, Arabic, and some more languges will look better and will be easier to read and understand, using the app in my daily life will be easier and smoother.

RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES

Doesn’t even need to be automatic, can be a button that will switch the direction of the text manually.

There’s an option to change the alignment, but it leaves the punctuation marks in the wrong location. RTL support would benefit a huge amount of people. It’s not currently supported by Notion and could be an advantage for Anytype if it would be implemented.

RTL Languages

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND Some languages such as “Arabic” is right to left, although there is right align, some symbols such as commas and brackets if was written at the end of the sentence it is written at the left not the right as it suppose to + the writing indicator is at the left not at the right too also when using bullet or number list, it stay at the left and only the text change to the right ++ If there is an option to make the default Align RTL or LTR would be a great add HOW COULD IT B…

Alignment Inconsistencies on Arabic and Hebrew scripts on Windows and Android

Maybe this is a bit low-priority for now, but I guess I should address this as well. I personally don’t know which one is the more “proper” way in handling RTL scripts, I just want to point out the inconsistencies. Or is this maybe a system thing and not Anytype? Describe the bug When writing in Right-to-Left writing systems like Arabic or Hebrew, the text block appears different on Windows and Android regarding the text alignment option. On Windows, the text is aligned accordingly as the alig…
