------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Apr 1 11:09:49 +0000 2008 ------- I posted a patch for winlayout.cxx, which adjusts character positions in Arabic text according to the iMinKashida value returned by ScriptGetFontProperties. The text appears now without the gaps inside the words. Sideeffects: 1. When applying color to single letters within a word, gaps may still appear. 2. The impact on cursor placement is minimal, as characters are moved by very few pixels 3. PDF export is entirely broken. 4. Of course, this is a Windows only solution. I understand that it would be better to adjust the character placement right away in writer, maybe in KashidaJustify. But I have to get the minimum kashida width value over there from vcl. But I really didn't know how to do that (surely not without messing up a lot of things). I'd be happy to help out with a more permanent solution. See also my patch in issue 87688 for the placing of kashidas. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
