Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately It does work like I expected meaning... It messes up the vowel point place when it reverses. It doesn't work. I'm sure Hebrew without vowel points works fine but unless there is a way to character by character change a position in line of text then it is busted for this use.

Secondary question, since I am new to the list I don't wish to violate any rules but are you allowed to embed low res images. I would be glad to show explicitly what I mean in case it can benefit anyone else in the group?

Thanks,
Dave

No idea if this is completely off target, but these two scripts help with RTL in AE--

Hello All,

I am trying to do some text effects with Hebrew titles using full vowel points (i.e. nikkud) I was expecting After Effects CC to be similar to Photopshop CC in this respect because Photoshop CC creates beautiful vowel pointed Hebrew text.  All you have to do is go to Photoshop CC Preferences >> Type >> Choose Text Engine Options
Middle Eastern and South Asian

However, to my surprise I have not found this feature for the text engine available in AE.
I have done some experimentation but have not been please with the results I need to be able to zoom in a out keeping the text smooth looking. Is there a workflow or technique that would allow for this kind of fully vowel pointed Hebrew text creation and manipulation in AE. The use of nikkud (vowel pointing) offers additional challenges of proper placement and alignment that is more than merely the RTL text that do not have nikkud.  I have included an example text with and without nikkud to illustrate the difference. I’m not sure how it will display in various email clients but I included in hopes it would illustrate more clearly the exact nature of the kind of text in question.

Thank You,
Dave

with nikkud

without nikkud

‏גם כי אלך בגיא צלמות לא אירא רע כי אתה עמדי שבטך ומשעמתך המה ינחמני
