Screenshot

Open attachment 143967 [details] from bug 119096 by selecting format 'Text - Choose Encoding', and choose character set 'Chinese simplified (GB18030)'.

=> Some lines are too long, and characters overlap (see screenshot), both with OpenGL enabled and disabled.

Observed using LO 6.1.0.3 & 5.3.0.3 / Windows 7.
Looks fine in 5.2.0.4.
=> regression
Comment 1 Aron Budea 2018-08-11 10:59:36 UTC
Interestingly in the bibisect repo this was related to a Noto font update in 6.1:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=e45e2c4897933f14c90a65fa74d0ad2a0b620ede

However, in the dialog I didn't change the language, only the character set. Setting the language to Chinese (simplified) as well produces correct-looking document. Should that be needed, though? (I admit not setting both doesn't make a lot of sence)

@Aron,

Your screen clip shows issues both with line formatting--but more so with font fallback--which seems the issue here and makes sense as Liberation Mono has limited coverage of CJK. And, font fallback got major rework 5.2 -> 5.3 with implementation of more DirectWrite use with HarfBuzz.

Believe the "Text" import defaults to using the "Preformatted Text" style form default template and is assigned Liberation Mono.

When I open this, if I choose the GB-18030 encoding and a CJK friendly font other than Liberation Mono--which has limited coverage of the glyphs needed for correct layout--e.g. NSimSun, no issues with fallback or line formatting.

On import believe empty paragraphs/crlf--those with no GB-10830 glyphs--are picked up in the UI local as set.  So in an en-US local, I get a mix of Asian - Chinese (simplified) paragraphs and Western - Default English (USA).

IMHO this seems correct, but a CJK user would need to confirm the system local is picked up as the Default for empty paragraphs.

Perhaps retest and adjust the font for the import?
