Reports in Arabic/Persian?

edited April 2003 in General
I know that reportbuilder does not support unicode (I have asked for this
feature before :-)) but I was wondering if there are any issues in trying to
create reports that goes from right to left (instead of left to right) like
in Arabic or Hebrew? I am resigned to the fact that I will have to redo the
layouts of the existing reports. Are there any gotacha/caveats that i need
to be aware of? The data will be exclusively Arabic - not a mixture of
English and Arabic so there are as far as I can see no complex rules to
follow.
Any help gratefully appreciated.

    Nico,
    I am confused now. Are you telling me that unicode is not supported in RB
    (which I know) or it is just not possible to do a report in
    Arabic/Hebrew/Persian in RB? The reports are to be run the localized version
    of Windows.
    Cheers

    Paras,

    Sorry for the misunderstanding. ReportBuilder does not support the creation
    of reports from right to left.

    Thanks for the clarification. This is a bummer though.
