Description ⁨خالد حسني⁩ 2023-05-28 08:48:24 UTC 
Some fonts, e.g. http://wiki.irmug.com/index.php/X_Series_2, contain both OpenType and AAT (Apple Advanced Typography) layout, and currently AAT takes precedence.

For Arabic fonts, using AAT, causes bug 155531, so one solution for hybrid fonts is to force OpenType layout. This, however, requires changes in HarfBuzz (https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/issues/4108), so this issue is to track the LibreOffice side of this once HarfBuzz has the required support.

Khaled: I see that you closed https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/issues/4108, does it mean this bugtracker should be a WONTFIX or do you have something else in mind?

I guess so. It does not seem like it is going to happen on HarfBuzz side any time soon.

Ok, so let's update the status here.
Thank you for the quick feedback! :-)
