My recent goal is showing traditional mongolian horizontally left to right (in UI) just like english is OK, so I think vcl should already OK to handle this .?I don't know what happens if you use characters of a right-to-left (RTL) script and try to display them left-to-right instead. Some part of the glyph layout might be confused at the end..
AFAIK, traditional Mongolian has no history of being written horizontally, it is one of the vertical-only scripts. But if it must be written horizontally, then it seems the current practice is to write it from left to right. Mongolian OpenType fonts are also designed to be left to right when the text is laid out horizontally. When laid out vertically, Mongolian lines start from the left side of the page not the write side as CJK scripts. LibreOffice seems to support this internally, but we have no UI to enable it: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61846 https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33278 Regards, Khaled
