Description Eyal Rozenberg 2018-05-31 18:08:17 UTC 
Description:
One of the available font effects is striking text with '/' or 'X' characters.

For Right-to-Left text - at least, Hebrew and Arabic - this effect works on-screen, but does not carry over to exported PDFs.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type some Hebrew text
2. On the Menus, choose File | Export as... | Export as PDF...
3. Accept the default export options
4. Complete the export to some file
5. Open the PDF file you've created in any PDF viewer

Actual Results:  
The lines with Latin text and with numbers, which have been struck over with slashes or Xes exhibit those strikes. The lines with Hebrew and Arabic text - do not.

Expected Results:
All lines with struck-over text should appear struck over in the PDF as well


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Example text with various font effects

This file contains lines with Hebrew, Arabic, Latin and numbers (separately), with different font effects: None, strike-through, striking with / and striking with X. One column has the font set to Arial, the other has it set to David CLM (although David CLM doesn't cover Arabic, so you should get the default.

You can't confirm your own bugs. Moving it back to UNCONFIRMED until someone
else confirms it.

It's not my own bug, actually - it was discussed and confirmed at the link I mentioned. I understand you may not have been able to see that, since it's a conversation in Hebrew. It was confirmed by 4 different people (although 3 of them were not registered users).

Ok, thanks for the information!!
