Description yselkowitz 2003-05-04 03:48:34 UTC 
Using OOo 1.1 Beta on WinME, UnicoWS installed.

A MS Word document written in Hebrew, when opened in OOo, will show punctuation
which is supposed to be at the end (left) of line at the beginning (right).

Comment 4 michael.ruess 2003-05-08 15:58:56 UTC 
I tried this with OO 1.1 Beta on Windows 98 and WinXP with my hebrew
Word samples, but I couldn't see your effect.
Could you please aatach your Word doc to this issue (or send it
directly to mru@openoffice.org for the case it contains confidential
data), so that we can reproduce your problem here (and perhaps fix).
Thank you!

MRU->HDU: Attached there's a a document I found myself. There the
punctuation is wrong (should be at left of the lines. Does not look
like the filter's fault, because it also wrong when copying the text
via clipboard.

cp->fme: the behavior is consistently wrong even after applying
LucidaSans (-> no problem with glyphsubst) and after changing the
fontheight of the text (-> even with two textportions) so it does not
seem to be a problem in vcl (different textportions are rendered
independently). Please have a look at it.

FME: I cannot see a bug here. A correct usage of Word/Writer would
have solved this issue. The page/paragraph layout has _not_ been set
to Right-To-Left layout, but to Left-To-Right layout with alignment
"right". Layout direction and alignment are two different attributes.
Simply setting the alignment to "right" without setting the correct
page/paragraph direction gives you unexpected (but correct) results.
We correctly order the text by using the unicode bidi algorithm.

Paragraph is not correctly formatted, issue closed.
Comment 10 michael.ruess 2003-06-04 10:31:09 UTC 
Closed.
