It's 2026 and Affinity still has no real right-to-left text support no proper Arabic script shaping, no bidi text, no RTL layout flow. As someone who does Arabic/English design work daily, it's a constant workaround just to get basic text to render correctly.

RTL languages like Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu are spoken by well over a billion people. You're locking yourself out of a massive chunk of the global creative market while competitors have supported this for years.

Do better.

As a DaVinci Resolve user, I really hope the team considers bringing back the Autograph Live Link integration.

The Live Link workflow made iteration incredibly fast. Being able to make changes in Autograph and see them reflected directly in Resolve helped bridge motion design and finishing in a way that felt seamless and modern. Since its removal, many of us have had to fall back on slower export/import workflows that break creative momentum.

Autograph is one of the most exciting tools in motion graphics today, and Live Link was a feature that genuinely set it apart. If maintaining it is possible, even as an optional or beta feature, there are users who would gladly welcome its return.

Please add RTL support for arabic and other rtl languages im begging atp bro, im so sick of adobe please release me thats the only reason im not using affinity! other than the RTL support affinity literally puts adobe to shame and im so ready to quit and switch to affinity
