With wxPython 3.0 Classic on Ubuntu 17.10 and Linux Mint 18 and earlier RTL would display in an htmlWindow using wx.SetLayoutDirection(2). However, with the current versions of Ubuntu and Mint the display is always the default LTR.
Is this an issue with the Wayland Display Manager which is now default on those OSs? Nevertheless, is there a way RTL display be restored on Classic?
Attached is a small app that will display a few lines of Hebrew to test with.
Thanks,
Tim
htmlDemo-rtl.py (1.98 KB)
Can you describe what it looks like when it is correct and when it is not, or perhaps provide screenshots?

RTL is for right-to-left flowing languages like Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, etc. Here is an example of correct rendering and incorrect. Both examples have SetLayoutDirection set to 2 for RTL.

Thanks - I get it now.
Are you using the distribution packages of wxPython on Ubuntu and Mint, or did you compile it yourself?

This is a wxWidgets problem and only happens on GTK+ 3, which explains why you see it on Ubuntu 18.04 (wx there is compiled with GTK+ 3).

Scott,
I keep checking https://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/18151 and there does not seem to be any progress on this issue. Some of my users are quite upset that they can no longer view Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, etc., texts correctly when they update to any Linux distro that runs GTK+3. Some take it as an insult since there are millions who speak these languages and my app no longer supports them on Linux and I can not give them much hope except “The developers are working on it.”
I would help if I could, but I’m not even sure which wx files need to be changed to accommodate GTK+3. Furthermore, it would take a while for any potential changes to make it into wxPython.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tim

Unfortunately, it's the age old problem of too many bugs and not enough time. I'll try to find some time to start looking into it again.
As a workaround, you could look into using wx.html2 instead. I don't think it would be affected by the problem.

I understand, and thanks for what you do.
html2 is great except the current wxP version (3.0) does not return any click or mouseover events to the app. From what I understand wx 3.1 does do this somewhat but it is not in wxP yet.
