Research direction

Start by reproducing the makerjs Text model with the provided TTF file and the Arabic text روميك, then compare the generated SVG with the Microsoft Word preview. Investigate the character transformation and the missing beginning of the SVG path. Done means the generated text path matches the expected glyph order and contains the complete text.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hello,

When I was trying to generate SVG using makerjs "Text" model,
I am getting invalid text path when compared with other software.

I guess there is some issue with transformation of character.

Also, some part at start of svg is missing

Text = روميك
