Gap In Between Right to Left Letters (Arabic/Persian)

[moosa]

Hi,
Have installed Shotcut 20.07.11
Is there a trick to eliminating the gap in between letters in RTL languages? In my case, trying to write an overlay text in Arabic/Persian. As can be seen in attached snapshot a gap appears in between letters. It becomes evident when Thickness/Outline is enabled. I tested it with different “Writing System” as well as different fonts, but no change.

Any guidance is appreciated.
Thank you.

Try this
Set the text simple filter to use font size.
Duplicate the text simple filter. Set the outline on the upper text filter.
Set the outline to 0 on the lower text filter.
If you need to move the text use the Size and Position filter.

This is clever. It worked. Thank you.
