If you know these writing systems, please take a look at this issue and help us out

Arabic and Hebrew percent sign display issues under RTL layout

opened 05:23AM - 29 Apr 24 UTC

### LVGL version v9.1.1 ### What happened? Both Arabic and Hebrew have RTL la…youts. The percent sign in Hebrew is on the right side of the number, and the percent sign in Arabic is on the left side of the number. The RTL layout will force the percent sign to the left side of the number. as follows: ![image](https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl/assets/51692568/2c79e466-e2b9-4f61-a942-5e029f41d0ec) ![image](https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl/assets/51692568/87b3b181-eb1b-4e0d-ac5a-059d5116ef2c) ```C const char* Arab_string = "زيادة 56%"; const char* Hebrew_string = "עלייה של 56%."; void lv_freetype_demo(void) { /*Create a font*/ lv_font_t* font = lv_freetype_font_create("./NotoSansArabic-Bold.ttf", LV_FREETYPE_FONT_RENDER_MODE_BITMAP, 24, LV_FREETYPE_FONT_STYLE_NORMAL); lv_font_t* font2 = lv_freetype_font_create("./NotoSansHebrew-Bold.ttf", LV_FREETYPE_FONT_RENDER_MODE_BITMAP, 24, LV_FREETYPE_FONT_STYLE_NORMAL); if (!font || !font2) { LV_LOG_ERROR("freetype font create failed."); return; } font->fallback = font2; lv_obj_set_style_base_dir(lv_screen_active(), LV_BASE_DIR_RTL, 0); /*Create style with the new font*/ static lv_style_t style; lv_style_init(&style); lv_style_set_text_font(&style, font); lv_style_set_text_align(&style, LV_TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER); /*Create a label with the new style*/ lv_obj_t * label = lv_label_create(lv_screen_active()); lv_obj_add_style(label, &style, 0); lv_label_set_text(label, Arab_string); lv_label_set_long_mode(label, LV_LABEL_LONG_WRAP); lv_obj_set_width(label, 400); label = lv_label_create(lv_screen_active()); lv_obj_add_style(label, &style, 0); lv_label_set_text(label, Hebrew_string); lv_label_set_long_mode(label, LV_LABEL_LONG_WRAP); lv_obj_set_width(label, 400); lv_obj_set_y(label, 100); } ``` ### How to reproduce? lvgl adds a language setting and recognizes the percent sign as LV_BASE_DIR_RTL in Hebrew. Is it possible?
