--- Comment #10 from خالد حسني <[email protected]> ---
That is how the font is designed, it might not look good for your case, but it
is still not something that we want to address. Glyphs have advance widths,
these control how much a glyph advances the line and then in turn controls line
breaking decisions. The glyph shape is irrelevant and is never consulted for
these decision.

To get a uniform margin we can either:
1) clip the glyphs at the margin, but it will look worse than it is now and
more people will complain
2) Use the glyph bounding box instead of the glyph advance at line breaks: this
is not easy as it seems since it meant the glyph will have different advance
width based on whether it is at the line margins or in the middle, and it would
also be a breaking change as it can result in different line breaking than
previous versions of LibreOffice and other office suites.
3) Align the glyphs at the margins without changing their advance widths: the
change in width needs to get from somewhere, so we will need to alter
letterspace to account for the difference, which will look worse and more
people will complain.

I also don’t know any other software package that does any of this, probably
for good reasons.
