Description
What happened?
When converting a docx file (or other text files) written in Hebrew (and probably other RTL languages) to a pdf file, the letters are flipped and come out as gibberish.
What did you expect?
Expected the same text to show up in the pdf format.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a docx (or txt) file with a Hebrew sequence.
- Convert it to a pdf file using Filee.
- Compare the result with the original file.
Files involved (formats, sizes — attach a sample if you can share it)
Bug happens for both txt -> pdf and docx -> pdf
