--- Comment #8 from Safa Alfulaij <safa1996alful...@gmail.com> --- More investigation: It's not a problem with Arabic or western, it's a problem with overlapping line segments. For example, applying the underline attribute to a pure English text inverses the "filling" in the characters. For Arabic, the letters aren't spaced (it's the usual and correct look), but there are overlapping shapes (which is normal) whenever two letters are "connected" together. That's why the curve shape at one edge of the break appears, that's how the letters are made and designed in fonts.
