@balin09 could you provide some sample code?

And also, how is your current output? Does it still display text in latin?

[balin09]

@uyab here some code
avatar.php:

`
'driver' => env('IMAGE_DRIVER', 'gd'),

// Initial generator class
'generator' => \Laravolt\Avatar\Generator\DefaultGenerator::class,

// Whether all characters supplied must be replaced with their closest ASCII counterparts
'ascii'    => false,

// Image shape: circle or square
'shape' => 'square',

// Image width, in pixel
'width'    => 100,

// Image height, in pixel
'height'   => 70,

// Number of characters used as initials. If name consists of single word, the first N character will be used
'chars'    => 2,

// font size
'fontSize' => 38,

// convert initial letter in uppercase
'uppercase' => true,

'rtl' => false,

// Fonts used to render text.
// If contains more than one fonts, randomly selected based on name supplied
'fonts' => [__DIR__ . '/../fonts/Tajawal-Medium.ttf'],

// List of foreground colors to be used, randomly selected based on name supplied
'foregrounds' => [
    '#FFFFFF',
],

...
`

anyone try this plugin and worked with Arabic language ?

I downloaded (hopefully) the same font from https://www.fontpalace.com/font-download/tajawal-medium/ and its just works as expected.

Can you validate if you have setup the fonts path correctly? Something like dd(config('laravolt.avatar.fonts')) and see if the output was correct.

@uyab
So sorry for late response
my bad i get confused with font path in avatar.php i thought it was correct ..., now it worked fine when i change it.
but now i have an other problem: with arabic name it take 2 initial from first name only, exp for ( Imad Abd ) i expect [I A] but i get [Im].
here is the output

even with english sometimes the same probleme happen:

and also the output for rtl=>true or false ar the same for english and arabic here is my config

You can create your own InitialGenerator class. Please check the configuration file.
