Bug ID: 95060
Summary: Combining Diacritics will not stack when exported to
PDF.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.0.2.2 release
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: rand_burg...@ntm.org

odc file showing the diacritic problem
LibreOffice positions and stacks combining diacritics perfectly within Writer
and Draw. However, when the page is exported to PDF any letter that has more
than one diacritic it prints all diacritics on top of each other rather than
stacking them as it should. The result is that the words are totally
unreadable in all languages that use that type of letters.
I have attached a .odt file that when opened in Writer will show the diacritics
displayed correctly using the arial font. The document also has a image of
what it looks like after being exported to PDF. If you look at that image you
see all diacritics messed up if there is more than one diacritic.
Diacritics use anchor points in the font to position themselves correctly. The
PDF export is ignoring these anchor points when exporting so they end up all
piled up on top of each other.
Combining diacritics are marks that sit above or below letters and help that
letter to form a new letter. They are used very extensively in different
languages though out the World, and PDF export cannot be used by any those
languages unless diacritics are positioned correctly.
