so this is what you get, i.e. gedit is correct, OOo shows something when you
type, but it's wrong, and if I paste into writer I get yet another sequence of
glyphs.

I bet that this is an icu problem from icu's perspective.
Comment 2 Caolan McNamara 2006-07-31 12:50:57 UTC 
So this looks to me like that icu doesn't know about the correct combining
characters characteristics for sinhala
Comment 3 A S Alam 2006-07-31 12:55:42 UTC 
yes, there is long list of those type of combination. 
(with 0DCA/0DBB+200D+<SPACE> characters), which are not properly Rendered
Comment 4 A S Alam 2006-07-31 12:59:22 UTC 
Adding si_LK expert for more detail
Comment 5 Caolan McNamara 2006-07-31 15:32:10 UTC 
let me examine icu 3.6d01 release candidate, there seems to have been some
possibly relevent work there
Comment 6 Caolan McNamara 2006-07-31 17:33:12 UTC 
Looks like it's the ZWJ 0x200D which isn't supported by the OOo+ICU chain, still
exists in icu 3.6 at the moment

part of the puzzle

At least this is required, maybe more. This allows me to load a document
containin the above sequence and render it correctly. Need to do some more
examination to see if it's the complete story.
Comment 8 Caolan McNamara 2006-08-01 11:04:10 UTC 
Ah, the input method still cannot enter the correct sequence because OOo doesn't
implement the retrieve_surrounding signal to give the context which scim-sinhala
needs to know about to give the same sequence as gedit. Tricky, very tricky.
also need for thai I would expect
Comment 9 Caolan McNamara 2006-08-01 15:38:31 UTC 
heh, so I cooked up a lunatic implementation based around the accessibility
interface which seems like it will do the right thing. Fix checked in, will be
in next respin
Comment 11 Caolan McNamara 2006-08-02 07:58:35 UTC 
caolan->aalam: I don't see the pictures referenced in the .html to be sure they
are currently rendered correctly, but they all list the dread 0x200D ZWJ, so
they would all fall into the category of problem which attachment 1 [details] addresses.
