Hi Bill,

if your system does support Persian input and if it supports Persian fonts then you might want to configure Complex Text Layout in menu item /Tools/Config/Language Support/Languages

If you activate the checkbox within this dialog for CTL then you can select Persian language support. You probably have to restart OpenOffice to activate the changes.

If you activate CTL then OpenOffice activates the support for RTL (right to left) input schema, etc.

Kind regards, Joost

Hi Folks,

    I frequently print out some Persian (Farsi) documents for some Persian friends, but Open Office often does not play nice with the Farsi font which is written right to left.

when I cut and paste the text into a Writer page some text displays correctly, some displays as blocks and some runs off the page.

Sometimes I can get the blocks to display correctly by adding carriage returns or spaces,

For example try cutting and pasting a block of text from this web page:

https://www.bible.com/bible/118/JHN.1.nmv

to a Writer Document.

This occurs with Open Office 4.1.5

When I cut and paste the same text into Word it displays correctly - The only Font package installed is "English"

Is it possible to correct this anomaly?

Best Regards

Bill Washington
