Text shaping is the process of converting text to glyph indices and positions as part of text rendering. [1] It is complementary to font rendering as part of the text rendering process; font rendering is used to generate the glyphs, and text shaping decides which glyphs to render and where they should be put on the image plane.

centered—text is aligned to neither the left nor right margin; there is an even gap on each side of each line. Alignment does not change the direction in which text is read; however, text direction may determine the most commonly used alignment for that script.
The GNU Image Manipulation Program, commonly known by its acronym GIMP (/ ɡ ɪ m p / ⓘ GHIMP), is a free and open-source raster graphics editor [3] used for image manipulation (retouching) and image editing, free-form drawing, transcoding between different image file formats, and more specialized tasks.
In the first example, without an LRM control character, a web browser will render the ++ on the left of the "C" because the browser recognizes that the paragraph is in a right-to-left text and applies punctuation, which is neutral as to its direction, according to the direction of the adjacent text. The LRM control character causes the ...
Note the increased edge contrast with the hinted text but more faithful character shape and more natural inter-character spacing in the unhinted text. Font hinting , also known as instructing , is the use of mathematical instructions to adjust the display of an outline font so that it lines up with a rasterized grid.
When right-to-left text is embedded in certain left-to-right contexts, such as when tagged with a reference, it may require control characters to display properly. The marker to return to left-to-right text should be encoded as ‎ or supplied through the template {}.
Bidirectional script support is the capability of a computer system to correctly display bidirectional text. The term is often shortened to "BiDi" or "bidi".Early computer installations were designed only to support a single writing system, typically for left-to-right scripts based on the Latin alphabet only.
Unlike direction and text, the size field must be explicitly called with "size=". Since the icons are square, the image size can be set to a one-dimensional pixel value that corresponds to both the width and height. The size parameter does not effect the "?" of undefined text directions, except size=0 (see below).
