Description: When I write Arabic within Japanese citation signs (「 & 」), Arabic letters do not appear properly. For example 「ـنـ」「ـلـ」「ــز」. Arabic Font: Scheherazade. Actual Results: Expected Results: Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: [Information automatically included from LibreOffice] Locale: ja Module: SpreadsheetDocument [Information guessed from browser] OS: Windows (All) OS is 64bit: no バージョン: 6.3.5.2 (x64) Build ID: dd0751754f11728f69b42ee2af66670068624673 CPU threads: 4; OS:Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; ロケール: ja-JP (ja_JP); UIの言語: ja-JP Calc: threaded
Thanks for reporting. Would you please provide a screenshot of the proper display of the Arabic characters (presumably without the Japanese quotation marks) and the improper ones? This will help people who don't know Arabic at all to do bug triaging.

And now I noticed that I can attach some attachments as a part of a bug report. I hope this information may help engineers to fix it.
Created attachment 161020 [details] Screenshot of Arabic characters with 6.3.5 and English UI Thanks for the screenshots. I don't know much about Arabic but I can see there is something wrong about smoothly connecting the characters. However I can not reproduce with 6.3.5 and English UI on Windows 10: Version: 6.3.5.2 (x64) Build ID: dd0751754f11728f69b42ee2af66670068624673 CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: zh-CN (zh_CN); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded The characters seems all connected properly, with or without quotation marks. Also, which Sheherazade font are you using? In my screenshot I used the one downloaded from https://software.sil.org/scheherazade/ , but they look rather different from your screenshot.
Created attachment 161041 [details] Schererazade font: non-arabic diacritics for arabic letters
I tried it for czech diacritics and arabic letters are disjoined, because Scheherazade doesn't have combinations for arabic letters and non-arabic diacritics. Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha1+ (x64) Build ID: 442c7b95e2ee94b66a9854d0cb22f8ecb76532c6 Vlákna CPU: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 17763; Vykreslování UI: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win; Locale: cs-CZ (cs_CZ); UI: cs-CZ Calc: CL
Created attachment 161042 [details] I tried CtrlV first example I haven't any japanese font, but i tried to put your first example to Writer and result is correctly joined arabic lettrs with supplied japanese characters.

I think the reporter has given enough information, and just forgot to change the bug status from NEEDINFO to UNCONFIRMED. I, however, know too little about Arabic to know exactly what went wrong for the reporter, or even to know what questions to ask.
Can't reproduce with: Version: 7.1.0.3 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: f6099ecf3d29644b5008cc8f48f42f4a40986e4c CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.9; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: he-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US What I did: 1. Created a new Writer document 2. Copied the the text in Shimomura-san's first post, after "For example". 3. Pasted the text in an empty, LTR-direction paragraph in the new document 4. Selected-all 5. On the menus, chose "Format | Character..." 6. Set the CTL font to Scheherazade I did not see any problem with the rendering. The TATWEEL (U+0640) connected just fine to the ZAI, the LAM etc. Could this be OS-specific? Specific to the UI language?
Hi, Mr.Shimomura Can you confirm this bug with a pdf exported from Calc in another pdf viewer, and if yes, can you attach the pdf file? Pdf is, in a way, editable with Notepad, as described in the following article written in Japanese, and sometimes easiler to analyze. https://itchyny.hatenablog.com/entry/2015/09/16/100000
A new major release of LibreOffice is available since this bug was reported. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
(In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #12) Note OP has not responded to comments for the past 15 months. Suggest resolution as INSUFFICIENTINFO or WORKSFORME.
Created attachment 181775 [details] Screenshot showing rendering as expected Looks fine here, can’t reproduce with various fonts. If this is still an issue, please attach LibreOffice document to reproduce it.
