Summary: accents and punctuations in Liberation fonts are off writing hebrew texts https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431608 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-02-14 13:49 EST ------- i have looked into the way OpenOffice uses fonts (http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Font-FAQ) made some debug tests with the FontConfig system and found out that since i have msttcorefonts package installed i get missing Hebrew Glyphs in Liberation Sans being replace with parallel glyphs from Ariel (MS font). according to "http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Font-FAQ"; i can control this replacement at a system wide level - fontconfig or OO system wide level - $INSTALL/openoffice/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/VCL.xcu default font replacement setting or from the OO interface "Tools >> Options >> Fonts >> FRT" i talked to OOo people which told me TTF are less discriptive as regarding to punctuation marks and positioning them in a text line then OpenType fonts and that i should use OTF as much as i can. which means that Ariel TTF is probably OK but not good for Hebrew punctuation marks in OO. (OOo has a bug-report for improving the handling of ttf more completely) so let's close this one out :-) i will talk to the Culmus (free hebrew fonts) people and see if it is possible to get their Hebrew glyphs and use them in Liberation. dimension-wise and legal-wise. :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ Fedora-fonts-bugs-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-bugs-list
