Arabic is RTL Language. but in Cool Retro Term words are displayed in reverse.
example:
the word 'مرحبا' displayed as: 'ابحرم'.
changing the font didn't help.
could you please fix this. I really want this terminal to be my default.

CRT uses a separately maintained fork of the QML port of qtermwidget (Konsole), which supports Bidirectional text, but this support is disabled by default.

Because the author doesn't seem to be active currently, I think it's best to explain how to enable it manually, until it's fixed upstream:

  1. Update your system packages (apt full-upgrade for example). This ensures you don't have incompatible versions of libraries.

  2. Installs the dependencies in the build instructions for Linux or macOS.

  3. Under the Compile heading, do the git clone and cd commands, then before qmake do this:

    sed -i '/^,_bidiEnabled/s/false/true/' qmltermwidget/lib/TerminalDisplay.cpp

  4. Continue the instructions (qmake, make, etc).

  5. Link (don't move) the resulting cool-retro-term to somewhere in your $PATH.
