Godot 3.x does not support complex right-to-left typesetting or complex text layouts. Godot 4.0 supports both of those, but it's currently in alpha. You can try 4.0alpha5 here, but no guarantees are made for production usage: https://godotengine.org/article/dev-snapshot-godot-4-0-alpha-5

oh ok..

is there any other way(settings/plugins) like using characters as images ( may be as sprites ) instead of predefined gui ?

will check godot 4 alpha too

Godot 4.0 is alpha, but honestly it works okay. I released a few projects already with it. I've gotten thousands of downloads and I haven't had anyone report problems, so it seems like it's stable enough. Granted, there are lots of bugs and crashes of the editor sometimes, but it's still worth it.

There's the gd_tl module which can be built with Godot 3.x, but it still requires a fair amount of effort to integrate.
