LibreOffice Writer in a Fedora 16 virtual machine showing Á À Â Ã Ā
In LibreOffice Writer under Linux, if you type the capital letter "A" and then
a Unicode combining character (e.g. U+0301 which draws an acute mark above the
preceding character), you will see the acute mark drawn too low, overlapping
with "A".
To reproduce this bug, start "charmap" in GNOME or "kchar" in KDE, type "A" in
the charmap program's "Text to copy" field, and then go to the combining
character U+0301 and insert it to the "Text to copy" field. Now you should have
an Á (A with an acute mark). Now copy this text into LibreOffice Writer, and
now you see, whatever font you use, the acute mark is always drawn too low,
crossing with "A".
This is caused by LibreOffice/OpenOffice's Linux font rendering engine, I
think. Windows versions of LibreOffice/OpenOffice don't have this bug at all.
The attached screenshot is a LibreOffice Writer in a Fedora 16 virtual machine
showing Á À Â Ã Ā. Each of them is the capital letter A plus a combining
character (U+0301, U+0300, U+0302, U+0303, U+0304). You can see the diacritics
are drawn too close to "A". The font used is Liberation Serif, but this bug
applies to all fonts.
