    Hi, I am trying to create a design using Farsi, writtent right to left with the arabic alphabet, but when I open the .svg with another software (like Chrome), the text is not at all where I placed it in Inkscape.

    This is what in looks like in Inkscape :

     

    And in Chrome :

    When I tried it with left to right text, it worked as I expected. The text is defined with the right direction (and it appears in the svg anyway), and I tried multiple alignement, but with no success. I uploaded the svg as well if you want to look.

    Thank you very much for any help!

    There seems to be an issue with RTL and the text align tool (Left/Center/Right). https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/594

    When I used the align button, for any choice, the position improved.
