Summary: FORMATTING: Default CTL font is Hindi when English and
Thai are the only installed languages
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: con...@gmail.com
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.6.2 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Default CTL font is Hindi when English and Thai are the only installed
languages
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install 4.2.6.2 or the latest Fresh 4.3.0.n
2. Select 'Custom' install and checked language to make sure that only English
and Thai are selected -- and to make sure that Hindi is not selected. (On
Windows 7, my Language settings are only English and Thai. I use the United
States as my location <where I always VPN to>, Keyboard set to either English
or Thai, Display set to English. There is no Hindi set anywhere on this
system.
3. After install, start a Writer session.
4. Go to menu Format/Character.
4a. In version 4.2.6.2 the default Western font was English with (I
believe)Liberation Serif 12 point as the default font. The default CTL language
was Hindi and the default font was Mangal. I was able to change these values
in this version. But, the box that displays the current language shows Hindi
characters and Hindi transliteration.
4b. In version 4.0.3.n, I could not change Hindi to Thai, and when I attempted
to change the font, the Writer session locked up, CPU usage for the executable,
soffice.bin was in excess of 45%. Had to use Task Manager to kill the process.
Reproduced this a few times, then uninstalled the version including deleting
data in the User/<name>/Appdate/Roaming/Libreoffice directory
5. v4.2.6.2 Looked at Tools/Options/Language Settings/Language and found that
the installer set the CTL language to Hindi??? I reset it to Thai.
6. Restarted Writer. Went to Format/Characters and looked at the display box.
The transliterated language is still Hindi (Written: "Lorem ipsum". If it's
really a transliteration it should say: Pasa Thai; if it should be displaying
English, I guess it should say, "English". The CTL characters are correct:
อักษรไทย <Thai alphabet>
Current behavior:
Attempted to set the default Western font to Arial 12 and the CTL font to
Angsana 18. Once I close the session and restart a new session, the fonts
revert back to Liberation Serif and Angsana 16.
Expected behavior:
1. I don't expect Hindi to show up when in was never selected during the Custom
install.
2. I expect the default fonts to be Arial Regular 12 and the CTL font as
Angsana Regular 18 after I set them in Format/Character.
3. I expect the display box in Format/Character to look something like this:
___________ English alphabet อักษรไทย__________
instead of:
___________ Lorem ipsum อักษรไทย__________
Hope this is specific enough. Write if ya'll have questions.
