[scribus] Stalking the wild 'RTL language support' in Scribus

[مصعب الزعبي]

Yes Guys.

This problem stand in face who want to use Scribus in more than 30% of whole
world that using RTL in their language.

Our past work in Arabic group we can Fix Two issues from three .. 

1 - RTL align
2 - RTL shaping

The third one that Scribus PDF extraction in these languages.
So I hope that you fix PDF extraction issue soon as you possible
And I'll try to re-write our patch here to be compatible with devel 
branch of Scribus.

Best Regards
