Bug ID: 159978
Summary: Libre Office automatically choosing inappropriate font
and language settings for Ahom script text
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice

Screen shots demonstrating the fonts and language selection
When typing a section of text using the Tai Ahom keyboard
(https://keyman.com/keyboards/ahom_star) AND having first selected the Noto
Serif Ahom Unicode font, Libre Office automatically assigns the language of
this text as per the first screen shot in the appended Libre Office Screen
Shots.odt.
In time, we will want Tai Ahom to be separately listed as its own language as
Tai Ahom is no more similar to Hindi than it is to English; Hindi has been
chosen as a default, presumably because Tai Ahom is used in India.
A bigger problem is when a user does not select the Noto Serif Ahom Unicode
font. In this case, the keyboard will access most of the Ahom font, but with
the font automatically setting to Lucida Sans (shown in Screen Shot 2). When
typing some Ahom letters, such as U+11720 and U+11721, the font automatically
changes to Liberation Serif and those letters do not implement. This is
demonstrated in Screen Shot 3
