[cnaan aviv]

Hi,
When showing Google Charts on Google Chrome using Hebrew / Arabic (Bidi languages) with dir="rtl" and setting the CSS: letter-spacing it reverse the direction of the letters.
Does not happens on Firefox though.

Is this a problem on other places outside of Google Charts?  Thanks.

Hi,
I have seen it only in Google-Charts until now. But it happens in all the charts.
Here, I have edited the JSFiddle to demonstrate the problem.

I see the difference between Chrome and Firefox.  Looking in the debugger, the text elements are identical for both, so there is nothing we are doing different in Google Charts for these two browsers.  But for Chrome, the same text gets reversed with the letter spacing.  I strongly suspect this is a general issue for Chrome, and will affect any similar SVG.  I don't know enough about this to say it is a bug, but it would seem so.  Here is a relevant posting with some possible workarounds.  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24849981/rendering-rtl-text-along-an-svg-path
