Details

Description:
GD is not built with complex text support (needed for languages like Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, etc.). Upstream has support for complex text layout but it needs to be enabled at build time.

Additional info:
* requires passing --with-raqm to configure script.
* depends on libraqm (available on AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libraqm/).
* this is similar to  FS#55224  for imagemagick
This task depends upon

At least the latest stable version of gd (2.2.4) does not support this: "configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-libraqm"

My bad, this seems to have landed only in master and no releases have been made from master since then.

No problem; feel free to re-open this issue once support is available upstream.
