You have to check the Init shapes. Cause I found Init shapes are not used in the PDF. Omi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, See the attachment - a PDF generated by OOo 1.1.2. It is a custom compiled setup (running in my Debian box), with a few patches from the Fedora project. It manages to render okaar and oukaar quite nicely. However, it fails miserably in most cases while trying to render our juktolist.txt - but I guess it has more to do with an old version of icu than OOo itself. I have already backported the Indic related fixes in the latest version of ICU to version 2.6 (used in OOo unstable) - and will be backporting them to version 2.2 (used in OOo 1.1.2) asap. After that, I'll try to release a custom build of OOo (with the Bangla locale data inside).

Please don't laugh at me. But the fact is I don't know much Linux stuff. Even I don't know what is ICU and what is Pango. Let me give you a feedback on the Windows vesrion. The OS is Windows XP with Service Pack 2 Installed. The only remaining known issues are * ZWNJ and ZWJ are displayed as square boxes. This has been fixed in the latest version of OOo unstable, so I don't think it is worth the trouble to fix it in OOo 1.1.2. If I can find the patch, I'll try to apply it to the OOo source. But in 1.1.4 Windows version, there are no problem indeed. Everything is quite OK here. Just The the Danda never comes from the font you are using for your documemt, it comes from Mangal (Windows's default Hindi font). * Rae-Jopholaa is rendered as untosto-jae-ropholaa Ra-Yaphala works fine and I tested it in many computers. * Some fonts (eg: Lohit) are displayed in a garbled manner All fonts are OK (I don't have Lohit. If possible, pass me that.) except the Danda issue. I have attached a PDF of the test case that I used earlier in the morning. Looks great. Want a sample from the Windows version? If you want me to check any instable release on Windows, please let me know.

In Unix however, OOo uses ICU version 2.2 - which was released on 15th August 2002. So naturally, a lot of bugs are there in Unix OOo rendering. The only information I am interested in is - when an ekaar is attached to a cluster which follows a hyphen/dash - is the init feature applied to it ? Please take a look at the Windows behaviour and let me know.

But as far I know OO uses it's own engine for rendering scripts. I'm not sure as I never looked into it. I think both Mozilla and OO uses their own system, because Mozilla never behave as it should on Windows. You cannot type KhandaTa (with the old way) in Mozilla on Windows. The only information I am interested in is - when an ekaar is attached to a cluster which follows a hyphen/dash - is the init feature applied to it ? The attached picture is your answer. Hope you are happy with it. Omi <>
