--- Comment #11 from Nikolay Sivov bunglehead@gmail.com --- We have some fairly complete support for Arabic shaping in DirectWrite, that should help Office 2013+. E.g. static texts on ribbon bar should render correctly now I think. Typing Arabic text in document area could still be problematic, it does not depend just on shaping support.
