Bidirectional Text Support

See original GitHub issue

Hi, Is there any support for bidirectional text? From looking at the API reference and the sources, I couldn’t find anything in relation to this topic.

In a project I’m working on I have some multilingual content which includes English and Hebrew (which is right-to-left). Words in mixed sentences are not rendered in the correct order.

It could be very useful if PIXI.TextStyle had an orientation property that would control this behavior.

Thanks!

That’s one for @ivanpopelyshev (and other core members) I think, especially given what’s going on with shuffling things about for v4 / v5.
