RTL Typesetting

Freelance RTL Typesetting Specialists

RTL typesetting specialists lay out content in right-to-left scripts such as Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi, Urdu, and Pashto. They handle bidirectional text, correct letter shaping and joining, kashida justification, mirrored layouts, and the font and rendering issues that break when left-to-right tools meet right-to-left languages.

When to hire one

  • You have an InDesign, Word, or PDF document that needs to be set in Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi, or Urdu and read correctly right to left.
  • Your RTL text is rendering disconnected, reversed, or with broken shaping.
  • You need a left-to-right layout mirrored properly for an RTL language, not just text-swapped.
  • You need RTL handled inside a mixed document that also contains Latin text and numbers.
