Comment 3 Dan Williams 2004-12-02 16:48:46 UTC

Can you check the attached screenshot for errors?  I haven't found
what exactly is causing the issue, but it appears that OOo is applying
a transformation array to the string causing the glyphs to be
overlapped.  When the transformation array is not applied, I get the
attached screenshot.  I still need to figure out what's creating the
transformation array and why.

Comment 5 Dan Williams 2004-12-02 22:19:27 UTC

I believe I have a patch for this bug, will incorporate fix into
1.1.2-15.  There still seem to be problems with character deletion and
selection though (the strings don't decompose into the correct
sequence when you delete one glyph).

Comment 6 Dan Williams 2004-12-07 02:10:01 UTC

A partial fix that makes this much better should show up in 1.1.2-15
and later builds.

Comment 7 Dan Williams 2004-12-08 03:55:47 UTC

Look for 1.1.2-16.6.EL4 in dist-4E-scratch and please test against
this build.

Comment 8 Jatin Nansi 2004-12-08 14:17:37 UTC

This bug is fixed in 1.1.2-16.6.EL4. Leaving bug status at modified.
will change this to resolved after the fixed pkg is built into RHEL4.

Comment 9 Akira TAGOH 2004-12-10 18:11:26 UTC

It looks good on even 1.1.2-17.6.EL4.

Comment 10 Lawrence Lim 2005-02-21 07:02:20 UTC

Confirmed fixed. Tested with openoffice.org-1.1.2-18.6.EL4.


Thanks.
