Ability to switch how letters overlap
By default, when letters overlap, each following glyph is displayed above the previous one.
When using text effects or OpenType-SVG fonts, this can lead to disappointing results, like shadows on the wrong direction.
Would love to be able to toggle the order in which all glyphs of a specific text selection are rendered: above or below the previous one.
Could even use the extra space in the Character palette to include the feature button ;)

Nice trick Egor!

There is a trick you can use to achieve this meanwhile:
1. Enter your text backwards first
2. Set Character Rotation to 180°
3. Rotate the type object itself (or you can just apply a Transform effect on top that does the same)
This requires some effort, but what doesn’t :)
I like the buttons approach more, sure. -

can you check how it behaves/overlaps in right to left typing?
