[Xerte] Arabic characters

[Eloy Muñoz]

Hello, Paul,

I have just found this application and I am playing with it.
http://www.arabicode.com/flaraby/flash_arabic_support.php It arranges my
text properly before importing into Xerte.

You are right, the text-justify doesnt seem to work yet. The
text-align:justify doesnt seem to work. So for now I can keep passing my
text over this tool.

Thanks a lot for your help,

Eloy.
