Importance: Normal
Hello Shai,
The problem you described is not really Bidi-specific, but a common bug
caused by wrong text measurement. It seems to me that somewhere
OpenOffice.org claimed it was working on it.
Meantime, as a temporary workaround, I'd suggest to make font replacement
(Tools->Options->Font Replacement from the swriter menu), to substitute
badly-looking fonts by fine-looking.
Please note: in order to apply font replacement only on display level,
without affecting the document content, select "Always" (and not "Screen")
check box in the Font Replacement dialog. The benefit of that, for
example, is preserving original fonts when exporting the document to MS
formats.
Best regards,

Hi Mati,
This happens on arial, david, david transparent, tahoma, narkisim. The
only fonts I have working correctly are Gutman Kav and Gutman Kav light.
BTW, I have a problem with these two fonts that their name doesn't show
up when I open the font combo box.
