Digit Types
When you are working in Arabic or Hebrew, you can select the type of digits you want to use. You can choose between Arabic, Hindi, and Farsi.
By default, in Arabic versions of Photoshop, Hindi digits are auto-selected; in Hebrew versions, Arabic digits are selected. However, you can
manually change digit types if necessary:
1. Select the digits in the text.
2. In the Character panel, use the Digits menu to select the appropriate font.
