As far as I understand there is more than just switching the render direction to getting arabic text rendered properly. We have had good results with using Pango for this purpose. But still it should be possible to switch render direction directly in DirectFB. I guess you will have to add another flag to DFBSurfaceTextFlags and then change the DrawString() implementation to respect this flag.
