hebrew text shows up backwards

[vrumger]

running tofi with hebrew text and passing a path to a font shows the hebrew text backwards, but if i pass just the name of the font, it shows properly.

this shows backwards:
echo שלום | tofi --font="~/.local/share/fonts/CascadiaCode.ttf" 2>/dev/null

this shows properly:
echo שלום | tofi --font="Cascadia Code" 2>/dev/null
