Bug ID: 87410
Summary: RTL font fallback in rtl layout when using uniscribe
backend results in a total mess
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Created attachment 110949
--> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=110949&action=edit
top line shows correct rendering in arial, arial black doesn't contain hebrew
glyphs and results in the mess shown on second line.
When Libreoffice determines that font fallback is necessary the layout of RTL
texts goes totally haywire. see attached file. this makes Libreoffice almost
entirely unusable for me since most of my Hebrew fonts cause trouble.
I can't work out what the decision of using font fallback based on, perhaps
Uniscribe returning E_SCRIPT_NOT_IN_FONT. This might be a bug in itself since
Uniscribe will say that even if all the necessary characters are available just
the font doesn't have the correct open-type features.
All my proprietry Hebrew fonts - which are from reputable Israeli font vendor
and support all Hebrew features, don't work in OpenOffice, though many free and
open Hebrew fonts do work.
