Description: The current situation of justification in LibreOffice is very bad indeed for Arabic. No book can be typeset professionally with LibreOffice. I already filed bug #106653. Here, I am requesting to make available other kinds of justification which is easier to implement. The alternative methods could be added inn Tools -> Options e.g Do full justification with: [x] Alternative Shapes [x] Inter-Word Spaces [x] Ligatures [x] Kashida Steps to Reproduce: Justify Arabic text Actual Results: There are inter-character gaps and letters are overriding each other Expected Results: No gaps between characters Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106653 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0
I've suggested on bug 38159 that we create a meta-bug for line breaking and justification logic; and also that (parts of) this issue be tendered out in 2024.
