Some Arabic words and characters disappear in PDF using Skia Graphics Engine.

In PDF exported reports some of the characters (and sometimes entire words) disappear. Some of the characters disappear only under Linux.

Hello,

In the Q2 release we have scheduled some time to investigate pending issues with the SKIA rendering. After further examination, we have found out that the issue in this case was caused by a missing font on the Linux OS. After successfully providing the font (in the reported case - Arial Unicode MS) to the OS, the issue is not reproducible, so we will mark the item as declined. If there appears to be another issue, which is not related to the missing font file, we will gladly log another public item for it.

We would like to inform you that in the coming Q2 2025 release, we have made some serious effort to fix many issues related to Right-to-left text rendering using SKIA, so we would advise you to update, as soon as the new version is released. Please note that, when using TextBox with Right-to-left text for it to be rendered correctly, the culture of the TextBox should be set to an RTL one (for example - "ar").

Regards,
Vladislav
