Arabic exported to EPUB (Fixed Layout) doesn't show properly

• InDesign 15.1.2 / Mac OS 10.15.6

• Create an InDesign document with Arabic content. Apply any Arabic font.

• When exporting to EPUB (Fixed Layout) we should see the Arabic text appear in the epub viewer in similar manner as it shows in InDesign document.

• The exported epub document is viewed in Apple's Books application, and Adobes Digital Editions 4.5 with similar problems in both epub viewers, where all Arabic text is either invisible or messed up and shifted from its location.

• Attached images from InDesign document, and epub file which was exported from InDesign.

• Links from InDesign forums on the same topic…

    I managed to get through to Adobe regarding this issue. It's a known issue that they are actively working on. I was told today that the issue will be fixed in the next InDesign update release. Time will tell when that might be.
