Fonts are there. droid sans Arabic and droid sans Hebrew

I don't know Hebrew but browser renders Arabic without issues and I think it should be fine for Hebrew too.

However sailfish native apps show Arabic text as squares. I think this is a fontconfig issue but I am yet to get to the bottom of it.

I also assume Hebrew will have the same issues but I haven't tried.

RTL as in mirroring the UI (I am a native Arabic speaker so I know what RTL is) but I am not sure what's meant by it in this context ?
