@hennerdrewes: here are answers to your questions, some suggestions and more
questions:
1. the layout class for PDF only handles the layout for the builtin PDF fonts.
Please see vcl/source/gdi/base14.cxx about what these builtin fonts are. They
don't support any Hebrew... so this
issue shouldn't be affected by the PDFSalLayout::LayoutText() code... On the
other hand, since mostly
punctuation code points are affected that are also supported by the builtin
fonts... does the resulting
PDF contain a mixture of different fonts on the problematic lines?
If yes, then the problem for justified hebrew PDF export could probably be
solved by extending
PDFSalLayout::LayoutText() to also do the right justification of glyphs in
their cells. This should be done
in a separate issue then, which would solve the problem across platforms.
Could you check the extent of the problem also on non-Windows platforms?
2. when showing non-printing characters a space is divided into a middle-dot
and a space. The cell
widths are identical and the dot is supposed to stay in the middle of the
original space. Maybe the
middle-dot confuses the BiDi algorithm or the USP itemization?
The two items above address the PDF problem and the non-printing-char problem.
If they were solved
would there be remaining problem? If I read the original problem report
correctly there were also extra
spaces within words? Is this still reproducable on recent version of OOo?
