Right to left languages support in R, using Mac

It works fine for me. I just change the size of labels to better show it.

library(ggplot2)x <- data.frame(a=runif(10),b=runif(10))ggplot(x, aes(a,b)) +   geom_point()+ xlab('سلام') +  theme( axis.title=element_text(size=100,face="bold"))

I am using :

other attached packages:[1] ggplot2_0.9.3.1R version 3.0.2 (2013-09-25)Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)

Also works fine under :

R version 3.0.3 (2014-03-06)Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)

I had the same problem with Hebrew letters, and I manage to work around it by reading the label from an Excel file instead of typing it directly into R studio. This method works as long as you don't need to mix letters with numbers, in that case things start to get messy. for example:

I know this is an old question, but I recently wrote an R package to deal with it. It's a simple R wrapper around some python code, since this problem also occurs when using python in mac. The package reverses the Arabic string and then reconnects the letters correctly using Abdullah Diab's python-arabic-reshaper module.

My package is here.Abdullah Diab's module (for python) is here.
