Hello, I am programming an experiment that displays paragraphs of Farsi text, which reads right-to-left. I am using DrawFormattedText to wrap the string into a paragraph that fits nicely on the screen. My problem is that the paragraph is left-justified by default, and I need to be able to justify it to the right so it looks appropriate to the Farsi reader.  I have tried using the 'RightToLeft' option, and this reverses that character order but does not change the left justification of the text. Ideally, I would like to avoid breaking the paragraph into separate lines and aligning each to the right individually. Is there a command or option that would allow me to right-justify a paragraph of text? Thanks for any help you can offer.
