Well, I am not satisfied until I discover something acceptable for my goal. This goal would be to reverse all of the English text on my Windows PC in a manner consistent with Da Vinci’s unique backwards-right-to-left writing style. It’s done for other languages on Windows, so I don’t see why it couldn’t be done on English with some kind of a hack.
Somehow, I think reversing the video output horizontally (mirrored) would achieve a decent result without any side-effects other than EVERYTHING being horizontally reverse (including images and buttons, and all UI elements). However, then I would have to get used to moving the mouse cursor to the left when I want to go right, and right when I wanted to go left. Unless of course, there is a way to invert the mouse’s horizontal directions as well.
The closest thing I’ve found is a Da Vinci backwards font. However, this doesn’t achieve the result of making all text read right-to-left. Besides, the system actually uses many different fonts, and making it hacked to use a single font like that would take a lot of work, and make it darn near boring.
If you have any ideas I could try, please let me know!
