How to control text direction for right-to-left languages?

I am typing in Farsi which is a right-to-left language.

What I see in the monitor is correct. Words appear from right-to-left.

But when I print, Entire sentence appears from left-to-right.

How can I solve this problem?

 

This happens even if I print to PDF file. So it is not a problem with printer.

Sounds like your printer driver is translating (mis-translating) the font.

 

Check to see that you have the latest driver for the printer. Is there a language pack for the printer?

 

A work-around would be to print to .pdf, then plot from Adobe.

Sorry for late reply.

My printer can print what I sent to it through programs like MS office.

My printer do this odd behavior (prints characters from left-to-right for words) only in AutoCAD 2010.

Therefore I don't think the problem is with my printer. I think I am missing a setup in my ACAD.

Another colleague gave a good solution as follows:

Print/Properties/Graphics/

select: True Type Text[As Text]

Select True Type as text below

And save as new PC3 file.

This solves the issue.
