In Jan 14, 2015 dxli pointed out that “"right to left" support can be enabled by some minor changes to LibreCAD”.  As I need Hebrew support, this will be a tremendous help.
As dxli wrote, I need support for ‘static’ text that is used in templates, legends, instructions, etc.  It will not be exploded.

Using ttf2lff I created a Hebrew font; and using MText I write the strings from the last character to the first.  The problem is that the Hebrew text is transposed once displayed in CAD programs like QCAD.
Is there a more robust solution?  I would be happy with an OS dependent solution that uses OS fonts.  The text will be placed in its own layer and can thus be easily ignored.
Thank you very much.
