My first bug report, and I'm a linguist not a coder, so please bear with me if
I've done this report incorrectly.
I open a small (one page) OOo 1.1.4 Writer document in OOo 1.9.109. The document
contains multilingual Unicode text, including the Roman alphabet; Greek and
Greek Extended character sets; combining diacritics (particularly 0323,
combining dot below).
In the font 'Palatino Linotype' everything is normal (some glyphs are missing in
Palatino Linotype, but that's the font's fault). However, change the font of the
Greek text (e.g. by changing the font for the 'Default' style) to Tahoma, and
the layout and font handling are wholly screwed up.
Some parts of the text appear correctly; most Greek text appears overlaid with
'no character' blank boxes, and many characters are rendered twice overlapping
themselves. Still other parts (further down the page) seem to have justification
and spacing screwed up.
Changing the font of the Greek text to other, non-standard fonts, has varying
effects including (a) the text appears correctly (e.g. in 'Microsoft Sans
Serif'); (b) the layout is as badly or even more screwed up (e.g. 'FreeSerif');
(c) crash. I can supply links to fonts that cause conditions (b) and (c) for me;
I'm not sure if I can re-distribute the font that causes crashes here.
There are no problems with the document whatsoever in OOo 1.1.4 in Windows XP
(SP2), no matter what font is used.
Notes that might be relevant:
The document has been edited both on a Windows XP PC running OOo 1.1.4 and on a
Mac OS X 10.3 system running NeoOffice/J 1.1 RC.
Attachments (to follow):
- the Writer document ('Archilochos fragment.sxw')
- pdf file of the document, with correct layout ('Archilochos fragment.pdf')
- screenshot of OOo 1.9.109 screwing up the formatting ('screenshot.png')
Please let me know if there are any diagnostics I can do to clarify things.
