Arabic chars and English chars and numbers in one string order issue

[Abanoub-Fouad]

Hello

When trying to display text which contains Arabic chars and English chars and numbers it shows with wrong order.

Example : "زيت موبيلوب SHC 90W75"

Screenshots

note that I have to set text direction rtl to display Arabic chars in the correct way

@Abanoub-Fouad It's all in this file: https://github.com/DavBfr/dart_pdf/blob/master/pdf/lib/src/pdf/arabic.dart You'll have to fix it. I don't read Arabic writing.

@DavBfr thanks for replaying. the error not on the meaning but in the order of words if the correct order is 1 2 3 4 it displays 3 1 4 2

@Shams-Mahmoud may help

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
// ignore: implementation_imports
import 'package:pdf/src/pdf/font/arabic.dart' as arabic;

String? parseToArabic(
  Locale locale,
  String? input,
) {
  final isLocaleAr = locale.languageCode == 'ar';
  if (input != null) {
    return isLocaleAr ? arabic.convert(input) : input;
  }
  return null;
}

@DavBfr who wrote the 'arabic.dart' file? the code causing the issue interrupts the logical flow, there must be a reason for this work around.

Hey @anastr, can you help with this?

if (isNewWordArabic) {
      isNewWordArabic = false;
      for (final notArabicNewWord in notArabicWords) {
        yield '${String.fromCharCodes(notArabicNewWord)} ';
      }
      notArabicWords.clear();
      yield String.fromCharCodes(_resolveLigatures(newWord));
    } else {
      // notArabicWords.insert(0, newWord);
     //   if I yield the non Arabic word prefixed by a space everything
    //  seems to work fine but I don't know if it breaks something else
      yield ' ${String.fromCharCodes(newWord)}';
    }
