Using a bitmap font to display and edit texts

One of the problems I am currently facing is displaying complex texts (English + Persian / Arabic). English and Persian / Arabic letters are not displayed in the correct order.

For example, if I have a TextView in my program, I want to get its text, convert it to a bitmap with my bitmap font library, and finally replace it with the TextView. The problem is finding a generic solution that can be applied to any widget that can display text like ListView, EditText, Menus, ...
