I first discovered this issue when rendering text in the Scheherazade font in Firefox. See this bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1614575
They said: > Ah, I see ... it appears this is a bug in the font, but only in its Graphite layout behavior. If you set gfx.font_rendering.graphite.enabled to false in about:config, the problem disappears, as we then use the OpenType layout tables. Chrome doesn't support Graphite rendering, so the problem doesn't show up there. > And the problem doesn't occur when using the font served by Google Fonts (rather than a locally-installed copy) because Google serves a copy of the font where the Graphite tables have been removed. > Further confirmation: I see the same bad result if I use the font in LibreOffice (which does support Graphite). > So this is not a Firefox bug, it's a font bug; I'll let the SIL team responsible for Scheherazade know about it. Meanwhile, as a workaround you can disable Graphite in Firefox as mentioned above. This confirms that the problem is in the Scheherazade font file shipped with Ubuntu in the package fonts-sil-scheherazade. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fonts-sil-scheherazade in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1864500 Title: Commas in strange location when using Latin text Status in fonts-sil-scheherazade package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: If you open LibreOffice in Ubuntu 18.04 and type some English text using the Scheherazade font that comes with fonts-sil-scheherazade , you experience this issue.
