I've uploaded a patch at https://gist.github.com/Tucos/6afb844041ac2a823bdb
This does pretty much what your python script does (that is, reordering and reshaping the characters), but also for variables. It does require an additional library (FriBidi), but that should be in the package repositories for most linux distributions.
Can you test the patch and let me know if it works for you?

[moceap]

It work's well. Thank you.

Hope to merge.

@Tucos

I try to create a pullrequest but I can't due to changes on conky... I hope if you create a new patch and ask a pullrequest.

Thanx

Sorry, I will not bother with pull requests myself. The patch should still apply cleanly to 1.9.1, as there's only been 1 commit in an unrelated file. The master branch is conky 2.x, which is a rewrite of pretty much everything. Either somebody other than me would have to rebase the patch for that branch, or you need to make sure to checkout 1.9.1 before trying to apply the patch.

Can you open a PR against master?

For anybody who still having this issue, a workaround could be to pipe the string to fribidi in conky. Ex. ${execi 1 echo -n "السلام عليكم" | fribidi}. You could also force left alignment with fribidi --ltr.

@lasers we need @brndnmtthws as I don't understand cmake how to find linkage dependencies.
