Thank you @ashraf-ali-ca .

support Arabic font

This gem depend on FreeType ( http://www.freetype.org/ ).
I think it raise an error FreeType::Error::Cannot_Open_Resource when set fonts FreeType doesn't support.

I agree that this is a problem.
Do you have a sample of Arbic font?

different colours for each letter

I can't come up with a good CLI-API...
Do you have any good idea?

@ksss here is an Arabic font https://www.google.com/fonts#UsePlace:use/Collection:Scheherazade also some Arabic text.

Am still learning Ruby but you could just a have a dictionary of colours and map it to a sequence of letters i.e if a text contains an 'AA' = blue or 'Ab' = red etc and allow the user to load custom dictionary.

Thank you.
I got a font file.

It seems can read from FreeType.
But I checked that This gem dose not support right to left script.

Custom dictionary...hmm.
It seems over engineering for me.
I'll think about it.
But I might not be able to expect that.
