Arabic Quran

I downloaded the Islamic studies collection including the Quran in Arabic. When I opened the Arabic Quran the names of the suras were all correct. However reading the verses they di not make sence. They looked more like Persian. However after further reasearch, I discovered the problem. Thesequence of the latters is correct and they make sence when read from left to right. However the Arabic language, like its cousin the Hebrew language, is written from right to left. These letters have to be reversed so that they can be read from right to left in order for the words to make sense. I hope this oversight will be attended to quickly. Thanks.

Hi Michael,

I have seen this reported (just cannot fine the thread right now) about this issue. Logos knows about this issue, and it is going to be corrected in the next Beta release.
