--- Comment #4 from Hossein <[email protected]> ---
In the past I have filed a bug report for glyph positioning when fallback font
is used:

tdf#152196 - Visible gaps in Arabic/Persian text with fallback font
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152196

But I think with the title changed to "Overlapping ligature glyphs...", now the
bug report is drifted away from the original goal I intended: correctly
detecting the language, and using an appropriate font.

I am fine with RESOLVED/NOTOURBUG, although I think LibreOffice can (and in
fact should) provide workarounds, like detecting the correct language with
other means.

While testing, I found that even setting the language to "None" instead of
"Default" can fix the issue I see here. This means no spell checking will be
used, but at least the text is displayed correctly. Also, with a wrong language
detected, meaningful spell checking will not be doable anyway.

In the end, I think if Gedit can display the plain text correctly, LibreOffice
should be able to that on the same machine with the same configuration.

I suggest reverting the title as it was, and then I can file another bug report
for "Overlapping ligature glyphs involving font fallback in certain languages".
