I'm trying to fix this bug http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=103897.
In windows Vista and windows 7, Segoe UI is set as default font for UI. When starting OpenOffice.org with "Use system font for user interface" option, the input box or UI text will be displayed overlapped when there is thai text mixed with western text. I have tried to set windows UI font to Verdana, the text also overlapped. I found that these fonts, Segoe UI and Verdata doesn't have thai gryphs. But if I set the font to Tahoma (this font have Thai gryphs), the OpenOffice.org input box and UI text will be displayed correctly. I suspect that if OpenOffice.org use a UI font without thai gryph, the text will be display overlapped when there are Thai characters mixed in the text. Since vcl and outdev functions are very complex. Can anyone tell me where should I start? -- _/|\_ Tantai Thanakanok. Open Source Development Co., Ltd.
