To avoid Glyph fallback display problems the usage of built-in printer fonts
should be avoided
In case of Courier (a monospace font) is selected as a font (for Arabic text)
there's a problem with the metrics
- since Courier is a printer builtin font it is used for formatting
- on the display a different font is used by glyph fallback
=> incompatible metrics between printer + display
The solution can only be to do better glyph fallback on the printer, which is
very problematic on printers because they don't deal well with glyphids and
non-existant glyphs.
HDU: Since the workaround is very easy ("use an arabic font for arabic text")
and the fix requires major changes, which were planned for SO8/OOo2, I suggest
to retarget this bug.
JA: target for OOo Later
