Bug ID: 140767
Summary: Support for Syriac justification ("Kashida") by
stretching the word-line instead of growing spaces
between words (just like Arabic)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: maronitetreas...@gmail.com
Description:
Requesting that text justification be done by stretching the word-line (called
"Kashida" or "tatweel") rather than the spaces between the words. This was
fixed in arabic, and it's essentially the same feature with similar rules to
arabic.
(This type of feature is essential for many use cases of Syriac: virtually all
Syriac texts are justified.)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Paste in or type in a Syriac text.
2. Justify the text.
3. Set Right-to-Left (need complex layouts enabled).
4. Put line-breaks to test the justification.
5. Pick a font like "Noto Sans Syriac Western"
Actual Results:
There are wide spaces between words.
Expected Results:
The connecting line of the words should stretch so that there is minimal white
space, very similar to Arabic.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
