Description Kovács Viktor 2019-03-16 15:52:33 UTC
Description:
Under Linux LibreOffice 6.2.1.2 typing Old Hungarian letters appeared as tofus. Tester fonts have these glyphs.
Inserting letters work correctly.
It is an RTL script.
Windows version works correctly

Actual Results:
When I type Old Hungarian letters appeared as tofus.
Testable font:
https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fonts/blob/master/hinted/NotoSansOldHungarian-Regular.ttf

Expected Results:
During typing would appeare these letters (as RTL fonts)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
6.1 version of LibreOffice already worked.
There is an Old Hungarian keyboard layout since xkeyboard-config release 2.22 as extra layout of Hungarian layouts. If additional keyboards aren't enabled, need to  enable.
Previous version of LibreOffice, or Windows version use CTL "none" settings for this script.

Could anyone check me back, whether under KDE don't appear Old Hungarian letters during typing, just make tofus?
There is an useable font:
https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-fonts/tree/master/phaseIII_only/unhinted/ttf/NotoSansOldHungarian

Old Hungarian layout defined in xkeyboard-config 2.22, within the extras.

There is a document, which describe Old Hungarian script (U10c80-U10cff) is an RTL script:

I tried LibreOffice 6.2.3 on KDE. It seems, the bug is valid.

On the following desktop managers was tested and LO's Old Hungarian capability correctly works during typing:
Cinammon
MATE
Xfce
Gnome

Question: there are any other desktop managers and could you test it?
Comment 6 Xisco Faulí 2019-05-02 07:34:45 UTC

Not exactly. I tried LibreOffice 6.2 dev version dated 03.05.2019 installed by deb packages.
It must to work RTL setting as "None". I think, it would be better to signed as "new" or "under leading in".
Comment 8 Kovács Viktor 2019-05-03 14:16:18 UTC
Hi Xisco!

Under KDE still doesn't work correctly.

I tested the LO under LXQT (lubuntu), and the problem was the same as with KDE.
Is It maybe Qt-bug?

Thanks for testing. Can you please paste the version info from "Help" -> "About LibreOffice" here that you get in LXQt? If relevant packages are installed, the "kde5" VCL plugin is used on LXQt as well, so this may still be related to it.

Comment 14 Michael Weghorn 2019-05-09 07:09:23 UTC
Thanks. Sounds like an issue with the kde5 VCL plugin then.

@Viktor: Not being familiar with that topic, I currently don't really know how to reproduce this. Can you possibly give a step-by-step description on how to set up everything to test this, e.g.

1) download the font from https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fonts/blob/master/hinted/NotoSansOldHungarian-Regular.ttf and save it at ...
2) "open ..., make this and that setting", or "run this and that command",...
3) start LibreOffice Writer
4) ... (how would one type the actual letters?)

1) download the font from

2) start the "system settings", choose the keyboard settings.
3) press the "add" button.
4) choose in the first drop-down box to any languages
5) choose in the second drop-down box the main layout "Hungarian"
6) choose in the third drop-down box the "Old Hungarian" sub layout variant (It will be appear only when the extra layouts enabled!)
7) start the LibreOffice Writer
8) choose the Tools->Options->Language settings->Language menu and set the CTL language to "None" (It would be better as "new" or "under leading in" in my opinion. Khaled coded this capability first.)
9) choose the Format->Character menu, and set the CTL font variant to "Noto Sans OldHung"
10) choose the "Old Hungarian" keyboard layout, and type "ablak".
It will be make tofus.

Test after resolve the bug:
Type the text "ablak" in the Writer with "Old Hungarian" layout. It must to appear this text: 𐳀𐳂𐳖𐳀𐳓 
Never mind, if in your browser appear tofus, after the font installation will
be readable (I use Firefox on Linux).
The bug is given NOT ONLY on Writer!

Thanks for the detailed description!

Example document with Old Hungarian settings

On Debian Buster the font is in fonts-noto-core.
In KDE you can simply use the keyboard switcher tray icon (kcmshell5 kcm_keyboard; Layouts; Layout indicator and configure layouts").

Comment 21 Kovács Viktor 2019-06-22 17:14:12 UTC
Jan-Marek Glogowski's patch is working.
Is it possible backport to earlier version of LibreOffice than 6.0.0.1?

This is just a fix for the new qt5 / kde5 code added in 6.2. The code depends on many other fixes, so it won't even be fixed in 6.2.

If it's broken in 6.0 you have a different bug, but probably that 6.0.0.1 is a typo, as you claim it just happens in 6.2 as earliest affected, which makes sense. 6.0 is EOL, so no fix there anyway.

AFAIK the patch was merged after the 6.3 beta (commit date was 2019-06-06). Can't check for sure, as git claims it doesn't know the build id, which is strange.

And since there are no 6.3 daily builds you can't check either.

I reset this bug to FIXED, as you say it works with 6.4. And I reset the summary. No version information should go there.

Please open a new report when 6.3 is out and it's still broken there.
Comment 23 Jan-Marek Glogowski 2019-06-22 17:59:40 UTC
Verified in comment 20 for 6.4. Thanks for that.
