Description Franklin Weng 2021-10-30 13:57:39 UTC
Description:
I'm generating my genealogy using LibreOffice.  Following our traditional document style I set the page as portrait and vertical writing, from right to left.  I used font "AR PL UKai TW MBE" (which can be downloaded at https://github.com/saiswa/free-fonts/blob/master/PCLinuxOSFonts/AR%20PL%20UKai%20TW%20MBE%2C%20Regular.ttc ).

The position of words were correct when editing.  However when exporting to PDF the big font size characters and vertical parentheses were shifted.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set page style as portrait and vertical writing, right to left
2. Input words as sample_doc (attached)
3. Export to PDF

Actual Results:
Some characters (big font size characters) and parentheses were shifted to wrong positions (screenshot attached)

Expected Results:
should not be shifted (correct screenshot attached)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
The correct PDF output can be generated with NDC ODF Application Tools v3.1, which unfortunately the characters positions were wrong when editing.  In LibreOffice 7.2 the positions were correct when editing, but wrong when exporting to PDF.

The sample document.

Exporting it to PDF under LibreOffice 7.2 would get wrong results.

Same version under Windows has the same result.

With 7.2.2 RC1 on Windows 10, I can partially reproduce.  I don't have UKai font installed, and when substitute with Windows's "KaiTi" font, I reproduce the shift of characters with big font size, but don't see the shift of parentheses.

Comment 7 Kevin Suo 2021-10-31 09:08:10 UTC
I do reproduce on an older build of 7.2 branch, but I do not reproduce on current master branch.

I then did a reverse-bibisect-ing using the repo in:
https://go.suokunlong.cn:88/cgit/lo/bibisect-linux-64-7.3-CN/

And find that it was fixed by Mark Hung in the following commit:

    tdf#144222 fix pdf export with vertical layout
    
    Remove the offset adjustment that is no longer necessary.
    That was done in every backend before, and has been
    removed now.  We can trust what layout text provides us.

By the way, on Fedora the font "AR PL UKai TW MBE" is a part of the cjkuni-ukai-fonts package:
> $ sudo dnf install cjkuni-ukai-fonts
