A downloadable Arabic font

ArSpr is a set of 2 utility functions that let’s you write Arabic text in Pico8. You input a Latin text and it will transliterate it to Arabic. I made it because I want to make localized Pico8 games, and to practice writing my own implementation for Right-to-Left text and Arabic Shaping.

Code examples and download on the Pico8 forum:
