Add Right-to-Left (RTL) and Persian (Farsi) Support for Text and AI-Generated Slides

Descript is an excellent tool for creating educational and social media videos, but currently it cannot be used effectively for Persian (Farsi) because RTL languages are not officially supported.
I would love to see support for:
* Full right-to-left (RTL) text rendering
* Proper Persian/Arabic character shaping
* Correct text alignment and formatting in AI-generated slides
* Support for Persian fonts (including custom uploaded fonts)
* RTL support across captions, titles, scenes, and all text elements
This feature would make Descript accessible to millions of Persian-speaking users as well as users of other RTL languages such as Arabic, Urdu, and Hebrew.
As an educator creating AI-powered educational videos in Persian, RTL support is one of the few missing features preventing me from using Descript as my primary video creation tool.
I hope the team will consider adding official RTL support in a future release. Thank you for your amazing work!
