Question

Integrating the new text engine with other Adobe products?

Hello,
Is there any plan to integrate the new text engine with other adobe products that dos not support RTL languages?
In famous products like AfterEffects or Director, No way to type correctly arabic text or (rtl) generally - The only way is converting the text to a graphic format in an external program !! And there is no Middle East versions for these products.
So, I wish adobe thinks to take this step in near future.

Thank you,

I found this blog post about an unsupported feature in CS4 products for Arabic, Indic and other scripts.

Since several Adobe products such as After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator use the same text engine you might want to try copy-pasting Arabic text from the Photoshop CS4 template provided in this blog post to After Effects CS4 and see if it works.  AFAIK Director uses a different text engine from PS, AI and AE.

Good luck!

I don't know about AfterEffects plans for Middle Eastern support, but I will inquire and get back to you on that.
