Arabic Language are acting strange at MX Linux

[hussainxd824]

So.
i am using MX linux for 1 year, and i had issue, when i turn into mx tools --> locales And selecting arabic language The charcter and words are performing weird, for example:
1. Some charcters and word are sperated(not connected like actual arabic language).
2. It not change their position from right to left, but instead it positioned from left to right, which cause issues.
3. some programs are showing english language negatively(like reverse rotation, problem on writing and viewing other languages.

Note: the arabic layouts(keyboard language are work perfect) the only problem is how it is viewed on the system itself.

I hope someone helped to fix this issue, espcially that some distro like linux mint or Ubuntu are works with arabic language perfectly.

With all requests, as per forum rules (which, if you haven't, please read), please share your full Quick System Info, do not edit.
If need be, you can do this using the LiveUSB, thanks.

As mentioned post QSI, and perhaps image of the issue and if you can a an image how it should look like, maybe with indication what wrong with that image and what app this image is from.
