I have a problem when trying to type an Arabic characters in blend while creating a SL project the text is left aligned by default and can't be right aligned also when trying
to view it on both IE and Firefox characters appears separated and left aligned, I don't know if there's an Arabic/Middle Eastern SL supports the Arabic and ME characters, or there are some hidden tricks that handles that issue.
Silverlight does not support neither BiDi text nor Arabic character shaping. Justin Joseph Angel has developed a BiDi extender that supports BiDi and I helped him in the implementation of Arabic shaping. The control will be released soon for free.
Thanks

As Yasser said, very shortly I'll publish a Silverlight RTL project that enables Hebrew & Arabic support for SL 1.1.
