--- Comment #3 from JC Ahangama <[email protected]> --- Thank you Jayme. My Puppy Linux (branched[?]from Slackware) and your Ubuntu makes the ligatures perfectly. So, my suspicion that increasingly applications depend on the OS to render fonts looks to be true. Gnumeric (a gnome project) has this identical problem. Windows Notepad uses Uniscribe (USP10.DLL). OpenType was gradually implemented inside Uniscribe and tested on Notepad. It could be that Writer is using Uniscribe but makes wrong calls when justifying lines. Notice that the ligatures actually get constructed but spacing is incorrect. Internet Explorer 8 had this same problem and Google Chrome too to a lesser degree. Samagana font has 2500 ligatures and constructs ligatures up to 3 levels (iterates constructing ligatures upon ligatures) needed for Sanskrit orthography, but has no problem inside Windows Notepad, all browsers, Macintosh and smart phones. I have tried since 2004 to get MS to fix Word. In 2004 they said they won't do it as a business decision. Next two fonts I want to make are for Devanagari and Fraktur. We should preserve human history when we can. OpenFont is the perfect vehicle to liberate Indian languages and cultures along with them.
