[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1800640] [NEW] Plane 1 (SMP) characters are not justified properly in Writer

[Miikka-Markus Alhonen]

Public bug reported:

Justifying paragraphs with Unicode Plane 1 (SMP) characters does not
work as expected. See the attached screenshot of a document with one
paragraph in Gothic (U+10330–U+1034F) and another one in Old Hungarian
(U+10C80–U+10CFF). Both paragraphs have been justified but visually only
the left edge seems aligned. If you try selecting words with the
keyboard or the mouse, the font metrics are totally off. In the attached
screenshot, I have selected the second word of the sentence (𐌼𐌰𐌽𐌽𐌰) but
visually it looks like two characters of the following word have been
selected as well. Both scripts display the same behavior although Gothic
is an LTR script and Old Hungarian is RTL.
