------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Nov 9 22:42:25 +0000 2007 ------- For those who don't have background in Hebrew computational linguistics, here's the problem as I understand it: Biblical Hebrew uses self-standing consonant letters (Unicode U+05D0-U+05EA) which are usually coupled with lots of different combining diacritics (U+0591-U+05C7). Here we have U+05D9 (yod) coupled with U+05B4 (hiriq). In Hebrew typography, the latter is usually placed just below the base line. In this case, however, there's a problem, since U+05D9 + U+05B4 corresponds to a precomposed Unicode character U+FB1D, which often has its own glyph in many fonts. The form of this glyph is not suitable for Biblical Hebrew but just for Yiddish, where it is sort of used as a consonant letter of its own. So OOo probably shows the precomposed glyph, while Qt4 combines them on the fly. I know that Ezra SIL, at least, is specifically designed for Biblical Hebrew, so there is probably a way to get the font not to show the precomposed Yiddish glyph, by using some OpenType / Graphite / etc. feature. It might even be something depending on the document language. Those who are more familiar with the different font technologies can probably sort that one out. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
