Description farzaneh 2005-05-19 08:31:28 UTC 
when i type a text in arabic or persian (arabic script), using a font from
fedora core fonts, no formatting is shown. all the text is shown in regular form.
I also used a windows font (Tahoma) that i was sure it has italic/bold glyphs,
but still no bold/italic formatting was displayed. everything was shown in
regular form.
the strange thing is when i print the document, the formatting is printed
correctly. the writer *understands* the formatting and prints it correctly, but
it doesn't display it.

MRU->US: please have a look at it.

no bug but a feature that is only available for printing and export to pdf.

The fonts don't come with an italic/bold version so OOo has to compute italics
and bold from the regular font. This is currently not supported in the regular
display but the feature is available for prining.

-> duplicate.

to colph: as i explained, i tried some other fonts that i was sure have
italic/blod versions, but the problem was still there.

You can be sure about it- but I tell you: Tahoma doesn't support bold or italic
arabic.
Tahoma only contains *very* few bold arabic characters.

Marking duplicate again.

(Next time please attach a sample doucment as well)
