Description: On Libreoffice 5.3 or 5.4, when writing with Microsoft fonts in Hebrew (from the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package. In particular Arial, Courier New, probably others) many of the Niqud signs (Hebrew diacritics) don't appear in the correct place under the letters, but as if they are separate letters. This is a regression. This behavior isn't present in Libreoffice 5.1, where the Niqud signs appear in the right places. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install mscorefonts 2. Switch to writing with Arial font 3. Write in Hebrew and use diacritics. Actual Results: Several of the Diacritics, Qamatz (ָ), Patakh (ַ), Shewa (ְ) and others, appear as separate letters instead of under the preceding letter. Expected Results: The Diacritics should have appeared under the letters. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No, but I tried it on several computers. Additional Info: This is an obvious regression. This bug isn't present in 5.1 and earlier versions. User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0

Reporter, please have a look at bug 113134 (yes, same bug ID minus 1); I'm starting to think this one is a dupe of that one, in the bottom line.
The "Fresh" PPA just upgraded to Libreoffice 5.4.2.2, and the bug is still present.

I concur -- I see bug 113134, but I don't see this one (LO from Debian Testing, under KDE) Version: 5.4.1.2.0+ Build ID: 1:5.4.1-1 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.12; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: en-US (en_IL.UTF-8); Calc: group
Running Libreoffice 5.4.1 (from debian backports) on Debian Stretch KDE in a virtual machine I don't get this bug, so it might be specific to the PPA...

Just to confirm that the problem is in the PPA and not specific to Linux Mint, I tried it on Ubuntu 16.04 with the PPA, and the bug exists there. So it seems the problem IS in the PPA...
