Please bear with me, as I can’t read Arabic. But this just seems to be a font limitation rather than a problem with PsychoPy itself. In the file you sent, the text component is set to use the font `Open Sans`. I changed this to `Arial` and the situation seems to be resolved. The screenshot below shows `Open Sans` above and `Arial` below. Is the lower version now correct?
