dxGetTextWidth problem

[Master_MTA]

hello their

i have a little problem when i tried to get the width of the arabic text in pixels using dxGetTextWidth function

so i tried to solve it but still doesn't work perfect 

function createString(lenth)
if lenth~=0 then
local st=''
for k=1,lenth do
st=st..'a'
end
return st
else
return 'a'
end
end

dxGetTextWidth (createString(utf8.len( v.text )),1.15,"default-bold")

why do u use utf8.len when u could simply  use string.len ?

i don't see any mistakes but the problem could probably be the language of the text tho
