Description Unknown 2003-05-20 00:02:40 UTC 
With Arabic and Hebrew shaping implemented in the OOo 1.1 Betas, it is also
possible to implement Syriac language support. Rendering requirements for Syriac
are similar to those for Arabic. Syriac characters can have up to four
contextual glyph forms (as found in Arabic) with an additional three classes
determining behavior of the final Alaphs. However, Syriac differs from Arabic in
that it does not have any presentational forms.

At the present time, my programming abilities do not extend to C++; however, I
would like to help out in any way possible to make this happen. 

Thank you again for a great product.

Comment 2 hdu@apache.org 2003-11-06 14:43:00 UTC 
HDU->KH: while you are at it could you also add "Hangul Jamo"
(U+1100...U+11FF) to this list or should I open a new issue? Even
better would be to have every script with unicodes U+0590...U11FF have
the CTL flag.
Comment 3 hdu@apache.org 2003-11-06 14:44:41 UTC 
reassigning.
Comment 4 karl.hong 2003-11-10 22:34:24 UTC 
I will update script type table. Also Hangul Jamo.
Comment 5 karl.hong 2003-11-19 00:31:05 UTC 
fix in cws i18n09.
Comment 6 ooo 2003-12-16 17:50:36 UTC 
I think Herbert accidentally set this issue to OOo1.1.2, assuming it to be a fix
for Arabic in general. As this is a new feature/enhancement and is accompanied
also by other changes for issue 22530 (general CTL handling), all included in
cws_src680_i18n09, I'll retarget this issue to OOo2.0. If we really needed this
backported to OOo1.1.x we could only take a limited approach because it might be
too risky to include all related changes in OOo1.1.x.
Comment 7 karl.hong 2003-12-17 22:55:42 UTC 
verified in i18n09.
Comment 8 stefan.baltzer 2004-03-08 16:48:25 UTC 
SBA: This one is a duplicate of issue 22530 ("Support more CTL languages").
Syriac was included beside other Complex scripts. Have a look  at that one for
further details. Verified in CWS i18n09 along with 22530. Set to duplicate.

*** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 22530 ***
Comment 9 stefan.baltzer 2004-03-08 16:50:46 UTC 
SBA: Closed.
