[xep-support] XEP rendering XML to PDF with Thai Fonts

Hi Daniel,

Do you get XEP 2.7 working with Urdu??? How did you manage 
to resolve writing-mode problems?

We have had a problem with Thai script, resolved in XEP 2.77. You should
update XEP to the latest version in 2.x branch - it's 2.78. Please contact 
sales at renderx.com to arrange the download of 2.78 package.

However, XEP 3.x is more suitable for multi-language documents - 
it supports right-to-left writing and bidirectionality. Upgrading 
XEP to version 3 might be an option to consider.

Best regards,
