This work! At and of actionPerformed insert line

System.out.printLine.setText("isLeftToRight " + area.getComponentOrientation().isLeftToRight());

Apply:

    //
    area = new javax.swing.JTextArea();
    jTextField1 = new javax.swing.JTextField();
    area.setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.LEFT_TO_RIGHT);
    area.setColumns(20);
    area.setRows(5);
    area.setText("012345"+'\u0660'+'\u0661'+'\u0662'+'\u0663'+'\u0664'+'\u0665');
    //

But I think, this is not what you expect.
