In case it wasn’t already obvious, there clearly isn’t a single Arabic speaker on AOC’s team.

    I’ve seen people saying that if you paste Arabic text into InDesign, by default it orders it left-to-right and doesn’t ligate the text.

      I’m not familiar with InDesign, so maybe if that’s the case? I’d be surprised even then since the pasted text doesn’t match the source in the slightest. But that could be a possibility.

        The last time I used desktop publishing software was 20 years ago, but I can confirm it didn’t handle Arabic text well.
