hm... Krita has actually two types of text: multiline text boxes and single-line text boxes that be put on a path. This is the second kind, and I have to believe you that it's broken, since I never managed to learn Arabic. But I'm not surprised, looking at the code RTL text isn't handled at all.

Calligra has an Iranian contributor, I'll ask him whether he'd like to pick up on this challenge :-)
