[Pending] Adding support for Right-to-left languages (Hebrew, Arabic...) (1 Viewer)

[morpheus_xx]

I will add the basic features for layouting RTL and mixed mode strings to the next weekly build. This brings at least correctly written text to screen.

The last part of mirrored layout I will leave out for now, as it also produces mirrored textures and I am not sure if we should take this approach.

There is a first build to test! https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...ment-snapshot-2014-11-15.128419/#post-1110359

Please read the linked post about required modifications of Titanium skin!

Any test results of the new feature for RTL text layouting?

Note: the basic RTL support will be temporary removed in further weekly builds. The last one containing the changes is: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/mediaportal-2-development-snapshot-2014-12-12.128790/.

A real support is postponed towards the intended switch to D3D11 / D2D, where the text rendering is done by DirectWrite.

Another update RTL text layouts will be available soon with the ongoing switch to D2D / DirectWrite! See https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/concept-switch-mp2-to-d3d11-d2d-rendering.128849/.

A very much improved testbuild is available here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/concept-switch-mp2-to-d3d11-d2d-rendering.128849/

It would be good to get some feedback of RTL users
