--- Comment #13 from JC Ahangama <[email protected]> ---
This issue is NOT resolved.
Please see comments 1 and 2 by Adolfo Jayme to understand the bug.
I installed the latest version of LibreOffice available (5.2.3.3) after
uninstalling previous two versions I had and even having cleared the system
registry in Windows 10.
The problem exists exactly the same way. I used the '.odt' file originally
submitted here for testing. Changed the solitary Greek Phi to capital L.
The situation in short is that all browsers, all Linux systems, all Macintosh
systems, Windows Notepad, iPhone and Android phones plus Microsoft Excel and
most importantly, Microsoft Word later than 2013 show the text perfectly.
LibreOffice is the odd girl standing out in the cold.
I see the comments went meandering into deeper and deeper abyss, which is
understandable because it flowed for 3 years. That caused someone to name my
request OBSOLETE.
The original font we used is 'samagana'. After some updates, we are now using
the 'aruNa' font available here: http://smartfonts.net/ttf/aruna.ttf
Please use that font to test. (remember to change the Greek Phi into a capital
L)
============================
May I most humbly mention that you are not properly implementing ligatures
either. This could be the root cause of the problem. Standard Ligatures are in
the province of the font, not the application using the font. (MS Office Group
also misunderstands it. English that MS wrote is clear in the standard).
The simple test is to use Calibri to show the word 'difficult' in a very large
size inside Write and Notepad. the f+f+i ligature does not bind inside Write.
This means that the fundamentals of OT standard are not understood as it
applies to the SIMPLE SCRIPT used by Western European languages. 'aruNa',
believe or not, is also a 'funny' rendering of the SIMPLE SCRIPT. The
underlying code set is NOT complex Indic. Just look at the text in the ODT file
to understand it. It is ROMANIZED SINHALA.
This is a rescue effort, an eminently successful one, for all South Asians. So,
please let's give them LibreOffice overcoming the massive misunderstanding of
Indic by Unicode so that they stop stealing Microsoft Windows by habit.
Thank you.
JC
