Using bitmap font for displaying and editing texts

One of the problems i'm facing now, is displaying complex texts (English + Persian/Arabic). The texts which have both English and Persian/Arabic letters, not display in correct order. For solving this issue, I created a Bitmap Font library that draws these complex texts correctly. Now i want to convert all the texts in all of my program's widgets to their bitmap equivalent. For example, if i have a TextView in my program, i want to get it's text, convert it to a bitmap with my bitmap font library and finally replace it in the TextView. The problem is finding a general solution which can be applied to any widget that can display text, like ListView, EditText, Menus, ...

Have you seen Arabic Reshaper from all what I've understood it can be used to display correctly texts that contain both RTL (arabic) and LTR symbols.

You can use font library in c++ and render the correct font though bit lengthy

You can try looking at the source code for TextView and modify it to suite your needs (ie, whenever a user enters a character using the IME, capture the event and insert the correct bitmap character to your custom view...)
