Hi, These problems are still there in today builds of latest LibreOffice pre-release (4.4.0~rc2). I'm using Ubuntu Linux with official prerelease PPA.
The most problematic problem is the justification bug, reported here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35320 The attached ODT file is a simple minimal working sample to show visible justification bug in Libreoffice. Is there a chance than someone can help fixing this issue? Please note that this bug existed in OpenOffice and it was fixed, and now OpenOffice works just fine with this sample, but Libreoffice creates bad results. 2013-10-29 15:48 GMT+03:30 Hossein Noorikhah <[email protected]>: > Hi, > > Starting with version LibreOffice 3.6, we had some issues with Arabic text > rendering in LibreOffice.
