Title:
  Rotated Arabic text is displaced in PDF when substitute glyphs are
  used

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In this example, I created a document with a few Arabic-script
  characters (U+08A2, U+08A3 & U+08A4), which were quite recently added
  to Unicode for various Arabic-script African languages such as
  Fulfulde. The font I had used in the rest of the document was DejaVu
  Sans, so I used that font setting even for these characters. In
  reality, these glyphs are not found in DejaVu Sans but had to be
  substituted from another font, in my case Scheherazade (from fonts-
  sil-scheherazade, available through packages.sil.org). After rotating
  the letters by 90 degrees, everything looked fine on the screen but
  when I created a PDF, everything was displaced about one inch upwards
  and one inch to the left. See the attached screenshot, where
  everything looks fine, and the PDF where all the letters are
  displaced.

  If I change the font setting for this text to Scheherazade, everything
  looks fine even in a generated PDF. So apparently LibreOffice gets
  confused by the different font metrics of the two fonts, the one
  selected by the user and the one used as the real source for the
  glyphs.
