Could you please also upload the ODT file, and a screenshot of the PDF where some of the incorrect characters are circled for reference?

Change back status to UNCONFIRMED after providing the files.

I downloaded B Nazanin font, and what I noticed is that it looks different (thicker) than the font in the PDF in the attachment. Could it be some kind of font subtsitution issue?

the answer is "no". because I have the right font to use. although I used all kinds of BNazanin font and they did not help. the other guy called Yusuf just found that the problem does not exist in lower versions.

Presently you can downgrade to 5.3 from the download page[1] of the website if you require an immediate fix until the situation is investigated more and resolved.

Regression introduced by 9eb4b14ffa57cd7bbdf0fc43096f5f1e65c8e388 which is the same as in bug 113428

After upgrading to 5.4.3.2, the problem still exist and did not solved.
My problem still occures,
And why the topic was changed to "resolved" though the problem still exist?
Comment 14 Aron Budea 2017-11-17 14:36:56 UTC
It was marked as duplicate of another bug report, bug 113428. Please monitor that one for details.

Additionally, if an issue is set to RESOLVED FIXED or VERIFIED FIXED (as you can see in the other ticket), it means the bug is fixed in the development version. However, important bug fixes are backported into current release versions, and are released with the next update once backporting is done.

The Whiteboard field has "target:X.Y.Z" entries to show which version will contain the commit, in this case the fix will be part of the 5.4.4 update.
