Title:
Justifying Syriac text creates clutter in LibreOffice Writer
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in xfonts-scalable-nonfree package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Justifying a paragraph in LibreOffice Writer with text written in the
Syriac script (Unicode block U+0700-U+074F) creates graphic clutter
between every word. See the attached screenshot where the first
paragraph is justified and the second is right-aligned. The second
paragraph looks as it should, whereas the first paragraph shows a
small line added at the end of each word. If you zoom in or out, some
of the lines may disappear, but when you create a PDF, they are all
there.
The same problem occurs with nearly all the Syriac fonts I have tried,
including Serto Batnan, Estrangelo Antioch, East Syriac Ctesiphon and
Serto Urhoy (all part of the ttf-xfree86-nonfree-syriac package). For
the last two, the clutter is not visible on screen but shows up if you
create a PDF. With East Syriac Adiabene, the problem doesn't seem to
occur. I have attached a screenshot, a PDF and the document used to
create them.
