Bug ID: 113134
Summary: Hebrew Dagesh/Mapiq character not visible in special
char dialog
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.4.2.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
The Hebrew language employs punctuations - points and lines added over, under
or within a letter to indicate aspects of its pronunciation. One of the
punctuation symbols is the Dagesh - it converts a V into B, F into P and
otherwise places an emphasis on a consonant.
Now, punctuation symbols, including the Dagesh, have Unicode character codes
(and are considered "modifier" characters if I'm not mistaken). Dagesh is at
U+0x5BC (which is the same character for Mapiq, which is about the same thing
as a Dagesh).
Now, if I choose to insert a special character in LibreOffice Writer, and
choose the Hebrew font I'm using for my text (say, David CLM from the culmus
project), I see what is supposedly the entire set of Hebrew characters provided
by this font. Yet, while some punctuation symbols can be chosen - such as
Patah, Qamats and others - I don't see the Dagesh character. David CLM _does_
have a Dagesh, as I observe using an external character map utility.
It seems like the Special Character dialog is somehow filtering more of the
Hebrew fonts than it should be.
