I'm trying to use an Arabic font called "Scheherazade New" to show Arabic label. the label always shows the standard system default font. Any suggestions to try?... please see the attached. This was tested on both Windows and Linux. issue

Seems that the problem is associated with the font you choose. I made a sample font myself and it refuses to display bidirectional text in my font, but other open source fonts, like Noto Sans Arabic, HarmonyOS Sans Naskh Arabic, or Estedad, seem to work well with awesometkinter.bidirender.

very quick look into 'scheherazade' font by font forge shows that the arabic glyphs belong to Farsi unicode subsets, unfortunately awesometkinter.bidirender support only Arabic Presentation Forms-B of unicode letters, thats why this font doesn't work properly
