Formatting card fonts with 'front to back and back to front'

[Ayesha Nicole]

Good Evening.

When formatting the cards, and selecting type of card: 'front to back and back to front';will it automatically switch the font to be the same?, otherwise the Arabic will display improperly: 

I want it to be:


Original / Front to back 
Q: Arial 15 (L-to-R)
A:  selected Arabic script (R-to-L)

Duplicate/reversed or Back to Front:

Q:  selected Arabic script (R-to-L)
A:  Arial 15 (L-to-R)

Hi,

Just use (a clone of) the Vocabulary card type, then you can set a dedicated font for Foreign Word.

Cheers,

Peter

Hello.

Thank you.

And how do I select the text direction for both front and back?  The Arabic needs to be R-to-L for the special embedded charachters in this particular Arabic script/font that are not used in 'Modern Standard Arabic'.

Hmm . . . I am confused.  

When I copy/paste text from my Arabic source, it will display properly (R-to-L); and then when I added a soundclip (above the Arabic text) is when it switched some of the Arabic text to L-to-R.  

I just tested a few other cards and added the soundclip below the Arabic text and it displayed properly.  

I still request for each side of a card template, to have the choice of text direction, to ensure it always displays properly.

Hi,

 

If you put the sound file in the ‘pronunciation’ field, Mnemosyne will detect that the Foreign Word/Expression contains only Arabic, and will display it correctly RTL.

 

Cheers,

 

Peter
