Title:
Poor Arabic rendering in VTE
Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Status in vte2.91 package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
VTE has a number of issues when it comes to rendering Arabic letters
in the terminal, which could affect a number of languages (Arabic,
Urdu, Persian... etc).
Bug 1: Any Arabic word in any VTE-based terminal is choppily displayed
with spaces between its letters, making readability hard and sometimes
not possible. Sometimes the letters are crushed together very closely
making reading impossible too.
Bug 2: If a non-Arabic text and an Arabic text are displayed together
in the same line, then the entire line will be missed up and you won't
be able to understand what is being said.
Both of these bugs can be seen from the image I attached.
I reported both of these bugs together because it's unlikely they can
be fixed separately, probably they are related to each other.
Problem can be seen in any VTE-based terminal. Here I am using GNOME
Terminal 3.44.0 on Ubuntu 22.04, but it can be seen in any Ubuntu
version and in any terminal version as well (it has been there since
forever).
I reported the bug here instead of upstream because that's what they
said at the page: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Terminal/ReportingBugs,
but this bug is not related to Ubuntu only; it happens on all Linux
distributions.
Happy to provide any information you need, or any do tests or
experiments.
