Creating a Java file with right-aligned strings

Question

I am trying to write Persian text to a .txt file in Java. Because Persian (Farsi) is read from right to left, how can I write each line such that it is right aligned?

I am currently using Apache's FileUtils.writeLines(), but I am open to other alternatives in order to achieve the problem.

Thanks!

Text alignment is determined by UI that would show your text file. If you are using a plain text file, so it does not have facilities to tell it its text alignment.

If you insist on it, there are special Unicode characters that can tell UI it must be interpreted as right-to-left text. Please see here.
