Description Jerusalem 2022-06-27 18:04:45 UTC
Description:
In Calc and Writer if I have text with Hebrew and then regular old Arabic numerals, the numerals are not displayed correctly at all.

Calc cell with Hebrew text: https://imgur.com/2KFfqTn.png but numbers messed up. Here is the same cell if I delete the Hebrew text: https://imgur.com/bYkFNqH.png and you can see the font.

Here is another screenshot: https://imgur.com/0GfFGju.png  It's all the same font, as shown. The first line is an English letter and then 123 and then second line is a Hebrew letter and then 123

Writer sample document attached.

Tried loading the sample with 7.3.4.2 and no problem. As fonts used came up as FreeSans (1st paragraph, with oddly Hindi language assigned) and Liberation Serif (2nd paragraph with English-US) also tried with explicitly assigning Hebrew supporting fonts David CLM and Alef, and assigning Hebrew language, no problem.
Reporter on IRC said it's an Arch build, maybe related.

Can't reproduce either, on my Devuan 4 Chimaera GNU/Linux and with LO 7.5 build ab12274ffda3a1a5a1ff33203acf9de665d4a636 .

I don't see Hebrew numerals and I am using Arch Linux.

Do you still see this?

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.

Arch Linux 64-bit, X11

Comment 5 ⁨خالد حسني⁩ 2023-01-25 16:05:48 UTC
I can reproduce, but it is not a bug. The language on the Hebrew text is set to Hindi (possibly a bad default), and if Options → Language Settings → Complex Text Layout → General Options → Numerals is set to Context, one gets localized Hindi numerals (probably others who can’t reproduce this have it set to the default, which I this is Arabic).

Not a bug since the preferences is following the text language, and is working as designed.
