If I got you right, the letters are displayed in the correct order but from
left to right instead of right to left.
Since all GIFBUILDER objects have the same properties the following will
apply to GMENUs as well:

If you have something like this

10 = TEXT
10.text.field = title

you can use stdWrap properties on TEXT.text like this:

Write a small PHP-function to flip the text direction.
Save it in a file text_rearranger.php (usually in media/scripts/).

includeLibs.something = media/scripts/text_rearranger.php

10 = TEXT
10.text.field = title
10.text.preUserFunc = right_to_left_function_name

Then your function will rearrange the text before it is used in the
GIFBUILDER.
