Description pfafakos 2004-12-14 20:42:20 UTC 
Dear developers of the OOO Community,

I am using OOO 1.1.3 to format an arabic document in Windows 2000.

I am trying to replace the MS Office application with OpenOffice.

I have noticed that the CTL presentation of arabic characters in OOO differs 
from the CTL presentation of arabic characters in MS Word 2000.

The font I am using is the same, but the actual drawn glyphs are different.

What could be wrong?

I will post a follow up with an http link to submit some samples.

Thank you in advance,

Panayiotis Fafakos.

Submited files for examination.
Comment 7 pfafakos 2004-12-15 22:44:24 UTC 
By the way, I have tried to use print screen to do the screen captures, and 
then paste the clipboard image into OOO 1.1.3 but the image would not be pasted.

I used MS Word to create the file with the screens captured by pasting them 
from the clipboard.

Then I opened OOO to save it as .sxw.

Should I open another issue for not pasting from the clipboard?

MRU->US: THe import looks quite ok, but the glyphs are drawn slightly incorrect.
They are partly painted over the right page border.

Setting Target.
Comment 10 hdu@apache.org 2005-07-11 13:41:53 UTC 
HDU->FME: As far as I see Writer does latin justification instead of kashida
justification. IMHO we really should do kashida justification not only when the
language is correctly set to Arabic but also when the script suggest is Arabic.
It is easily recognizable from the unicodes used if this is the case

Another issue seems to be with the import filter which doesn't import the text's
language attribute.
Comment 11 frank.meies 2005-07-12 11:08:19 UTC 
FME->HDU: There are a couple of features that rely on a correct language
attribute. We should fix this in the filter.

FME->FR: As discussed, the language attribute is lost during import. Please have
a look.
