Cannot use Right-to-Left languages (Arabic, Persian) with Inky properly. #122

Description

@kbigdelysh

I'm trying to use Inky with Persian language (which is a RTL i.e a Right-to-left language) but the text gets messed up in the output. Here are the issues I've encountered so far:

  1. The dot at the end of a sentence should be placed at the most left position but in inky it is still placed at the most right position (as in English).
  2. A RTL sentence should start at the most right place in the Editor but it starts as of it's and English sentence (most left place in the Editor).

Do you have any suggestion, workaround for that?

Here is a list of the main languages that use right to left scripts:

Arabic
Aramaic
Azeri
Dhivehi/Maldivian
Hebrew
Kurdish (Sorani)
Persian/Farsi
Urdu
