I confirm the incorrect position, but not the crash.

Does it still crash with latest build?

Ok, let's set to new for the incorrect position at least..

I can't reproduce the crash neither.

tdf#109142: Update to HarfBuzz 1.4.8

Bisected with: bibisect-linux64-6.0

Adding Cc: to Khaled Hosny

@Khaled: should it be reported to the HarfBuzz project instead?
Comment 9 ⁨خالد حسني⁩ 2017-09-08 23:22:40 UTC
I guess something changed in HarfBuzz since the last version we used that broke the vertical glyph positioning heuristic. No idea what is going on nor time to check.
Comment 10 Mark Hung 2017-09-09 17:45:45 UTC
Hi Khaled,

I tested Harfbuzz from 1.3.2 to 1.4.8. It seems that the issue was introduced in Harfbuzz 1.3.4. I hope this would be helpful.

Did you test 1.5.0 and 1.5.1 btw.? :)

Yes, I remember now. I was actually setting next to Behdad when he was hacking this code for that release and I remember wondering if these changes are going to affect the brittle way we (I) position vertical glyphs. Unfortunately all the details escape me know and I need to dig both the HarfBuzz changes and the related LibreOffice code to have anything meaningful :( Actually I think that is why I didn’t update our bundled HarfBuzz all that time.
Comment 14 cyanshrike 2017-09-11 05:48:28 UTC
One major change in HarfBuzz 1.3.4 is "Fix vertical glyph origin in hb-ot-font".

I can use hb-view and hb-shape to see the different result between 1.3.3 and 1.3.4.

harfbuzz-1.3.3-win32\hb-shape --font-funcs=ot --shaper=ot --font-size=72 --direction=ltl --font-file="C:\Windows\Fonts\mingliu.ttc" --text=測試

Hi Khaled,

I checked more detail today.

Inside hb-font-private.hh, fallback version of get_glyph_h_origin() and get_glyph_v_origin() were introduced in 1.3.4. It worked if I replace those back to non-fallback version in subtract_glyph_h_origin() , subtract_glyph_v_origin(), get_glyph_h_origin_with_fallback(), get_glyph_v_origin_with_fallback(). 

The test might be naive, but guess_v_origin_minus_h_origin() looks suspicious from my point of view. I don't know how it might related to "how you position vertical glyphs". I'll try to check that if you have some code pointers.

BTW, 1.5.0 and 1.5.1 don't work too.

Oops, make mistake while copying. 

I mean replacing fallback version with non-fallback one in  
subtract_glyph_h_origin()
subtract_glyph_v_origin()
add_glyph_h_origin()
add_glyph_v_origin()
Comment 17 ⁨خالد حسني⁩ 2017-09-15 12:27:15 UTC
I think this should be reported to HarfBuzz and get the developers input on this.

A polite ping to Michael Stahl: is this bug fixed? if so, could you please close it as RESOLVED FIXED ? Thanks
Comment 21 Mark Hung 2017-10-19 10:37:07 UTC
@Xisco Faulí:

the crashing part is fixed but vertical writing isn't. 
We still need upstream ( harfbuzz ) to fix the issue.

OK, this is fixed. Confirmed in the following build:

And the bug 103969 is also fixed by above commit. So is it possible to backport to 5.4/5.3 branches?

The solution seems to work fine for Windows but still not so good for Linux. But I will close this issue.
