Rendering of attachment 184337 from bug 152670 in PDF reader, LO Writer, LO
Draw
Consider the testcase PDF from bug 152670: attachment 184337.
If we open it in a recent version of LO Writer (i.e. after the resolution of
bug 104597), we see that the textboxes of Hebrew text are misplaced; or at
least - they're misplaced when the font is incorrectly determined (due to bug
143095), and the fallback font is used. For me, it's a Linux desktop PC where
the Hebrew fallback font is DejaVu Sans family, Book variant; the intended font
is David CLM, but it's mis-interpreted as "DavidCLMMedium", hence the use of
the fallback.
I'm attaching how the six-cell table in the file is rendered in a PDF viewer,
and in LO Writer (and Draw).
Notes:
1. If I set the font in the source ODT file used to generate the PDF to DejaVu
Sans from the get-go, opening the PDF in Writer yields correctly-placed
textboxes.
2. The LO Draw PDF import filter exhibits the same issue, but filing separately
since the filters are separate code.
