created a tracking bug at Fedora also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=668351
Additionally a better font choice should have been AnjaliOldLipi, bug 32953
Font issue is for Caolan?
This stuff is handled by the embedded icu. It won't get fixed for 3.3. What we should do is upgrade to the latest icu and try and see what the situation is then. Its possible that http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/8198 fixes this
Caolán: are you still on this? Or should this be set to NEW?
The fedora bug is closed "works with latest version". Ideally someone could re-test with a current LibreOffice version and see if the problem persists or if the latest icu included with that has fixed it.
@Biju: Since those are not default fonts on european systems, I can't test this issue on LO 4.0.1. Could you please try to reproduce the bug with the latest version of LO? You might want to attach those fonts so others can test.
