While we build installers for Malayalam (ISO 639-1 code ml, MS local ID code 1100) we do not have a development, or active Pootle based translation (i18n) effort for that local. Not sure of all the specifics but believe all glyph support is going to be provided by OS (with local/font extension) and will be dependent on Unicode glyphs for the individual fonts. Unicode fontset glyphs are not cast both with and without underline or strike through. Rather, included with each glyph will be font vertical metrics detailing the font designers suggestion of where to position an underline. So, each application will need to underline/strikethrough the glyphs. But handling the vertical metrics for typography in internationalization is simply not implemented in LibreOffice when needed for L10n support. Not a bug, just not implemented. AFAIK most general desktop applications, LibreOffice included, do not consider vertical metrics of the font design while rendering type--and instead use a default position and weight, with objectionable results as in this issue. That is the potential enhancement. It is not a bug, but for improved support of L10n and i18n, LibreOffice would need to implement typographic support for vertical metrics of Unicode fontset glyphs. Unfortunately, likely not trivial. Stuart -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
