Details

Description:
Pillow 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 --enable-raqm to build script.
* depends on libraqm (available on AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libraqm/).
* this is similar to  FS#55224  and  FS#55225  for imagemagick and gd.

Steps to reproduce:
With the attached script, the text should be connected and from right to left (as seen in the browser), but it isn’t currently.
   arabic.py (0.2 KiB)
