Farsi & Arabic typing problems!

Hello,

   I also have got same problem with Corel Draw X5 Version. but in x5 if write on a text box it seems to okay. but normally we cant write, because  "Dhivehi", "Farsi", "Arabic", "Hebrew" these languages are written from right to left.

The following keyboards are available by default from Microsoft

• Most Western European (Spanish, French, German, Italian and so forth)
• Most Central European (Polish, Hungarian, Czech, Slovak, and so forth)
• Most Baltic Languages (Lithuanian, Estonian, Finnish, and so forth)
• Modern Greek
• Cyrillic - Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Bulgarian and so forth.

The following keyboards are available from Microsoft, but must be loaded from the system disk first

• East Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai)
• Hebrew
• Arabic, Farsi (Persian), Urdu
• Other Middle Eastern: Syriac, Georgian, Armenian, Syriac
• Indian Scripts: Hindi,Sanskrit, Tamil, Gujarati, Divehi

SOME SCREEN SHOTS

Picture Above Language bar set to arabic on windows 7 Ultimate.

On Windows Xp Service Pack 2

I still could not fix my language on corel

• Encoding: utf-8 (Unicode)
• Language Code: dv (Dhivehi)

Maybe there is a Unicode Barrier in x5 that has to braked so that languages like yours and mine will be typed on CorelDraw. i use "fasyha thaana word processor" application named "Friend" wich enables language to be written smoothly in earlier versions but this aplication is not compatible with x5

the picture below shows  "Friend"
