Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 102603
Hebrew vowel points (e.g., holam) misplaced on PDF export
Last modified: 2010-06-07 11:49:21 UTC
[Actually, my OO reports version OOO311m11, but that wasn't an option above.] When exporting a Hebrew document with vowel points, the spacing is off for the holam point (a single dot above/between letters). Unicode seems to have two different versions of the holam--one that goes above a letter and the other that is supposed to replace a vav. Both seem to be mis-rendered on PDF export even though they appear okay on-screen (sort of). I'll attach a sample odt document and the corresponding pdf showing the problems with both types of holam points. Note that depending on what the next letter is, the problem manifests it self differently. Aleph is particularly problematic, but even that depends on whether the aleph itself has a vowel under it. Note that even on-screen in Writer, the dot shifts position between lines 1 and 2. These documents use the SBL Hebrew font.
Created attachment 62873 [details] sample Writer document with various holam tests (on-screen looks okay)
Created attachment 62874 [details] PDF export of sample holam test
Created attachment 62875 [details] screenshot of same Writer document
Sorry, I had a typo on the version, it's actually: OOO310m11 (build 9399).
Confirming and reassigning. kaminsky: great bugdocs, thanks!
Created attachment 62887 [details] uncompressed version of the problematic PDF
The uncompressed PDF shows that the exporter code does some extra effort to push the glyphs for U+05B9 and U+05BA to the wrong position.
This problem was introduced with the workaround for issue 100522. Disabling the fabs() solves it. Also the workaround in issue 100522 that suggested first would have solved it. @pl: ping
