RTL languagesٍُ
I'm trying out the 30 day trial of iWorks.
However, I encountered problems with RTL languages. As mentioned on this forum already one of those problems is that you cannot place the cursor within the text. You can click and press space or delete, but you will never know whether you clicked right as the cursor does not move with the mouse.
Another problem is that when I want to save a document in RTL language (with a Windows compatible font) as a Windows Word copy, Windows Word or Mac Office Word does not treat it as a RTL language, but as a LTR language messing it all up.
I could overcome the first problem, although it is annoying. The second one is a needed one as I'm sending documents to windows-users who need to be able to read the documents properly. If that fails for RTL-documents, I see no use in buying iWorks. Perhaps there is a solution for this second problem. If not,.. I'd like to know when it's expected that there will be more proper RTL-support.
