Dear Team,
Is there any update on this request can be expected?
Comment 5 Xisco Faulí 2019-10-29 09:47:11 UTC
@Khaled, is it related to the new text layout engine ?
Comment 6 ⁨خالد حسني⁩ 2019-10-29 22:11:36 UTC
I don’t think so. If I open the document the set font is shown in italic with tooltip that it is not available. The font name is “TAML ThiruValluvar Betta Kurumb” which seems to be ,missing an a at the end, changing it to “TAML ThiruValluvar Betta Kurumba” seems to fix the rendering.

Whatever truncated that a (user, software bug) is the culprit here.

I Tried changing the name into “TAML ThiruValluvar Betta Kurumba” but I could not see the proper rendering.

Dear Khaled,
The rendering I see in the second screen shot is also not proper.

I will attach one screenshot how it should look like.

Thank You for your support

Comment 14 ⁨خالد حسني⁩ 2019-11-08 21:31:04 UTC
Ok, I see the difference now and I don’t reproduce it with hb-view from HarfBuzz, so either a bug in our HarfBuzz integration or we are using outdated versions of HarfBuzz and/or Graphite2 libraries.
Comment 15 martin_hosken 2019-11-12 03:55:59 UTC
My take is that this is a run segmentation issue. This is Tamil text, but the offending character is from the Grantha block. The character is supposed to work with Tamil text and is listed in the ScriptExtensions.txt of the UCD. My assumption is that this information hasn't got into libo. Sorry, no time today to dig into that. Firefox does support ScriptExtensions correctly in its segmenting.

Right, we don’t currently use ScriptExtensions property. But Graphite should be skipping script itemization now (not sure what version has it), right?

Seems to work for me with a recent build of the font and in libo version 6.4.0.0.alpha0+ 6311bcff7f (FWIW), also in 6.0.7.3 release. I think this is probably fixed.

O. K., let's close the bug as RESOLVED WORKSFORME. Feel free to reopen it, if it happens again.
