hello,
is it possible to make arabic text centred like if we use ^FB? i have no good result with using ^FB and ^PA commands.
also, can i use proportional font to print arabic text (font with the same width for allc haracters)?

Hello, I would not recommend using a monospace font (same width for all characters) for Arabic.  Arabic is a script, so the characters change depending on the previous and next characters.  They intentionally flow into each other similarly to English Cursive script.  A monospace font would break that.  You may have a hard time even finding one.  As for centering with a ^FB, I'm not sure.  Can you maybe attach a picture of what it's doing and the ZPL you are using?
