Summary: minor positioning erros with hebrew punctuation marks
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 8
          Platform: All

Description of problem:
their are three punctuation glyphs that are a little off position
they are :
key <AE02> { [     2, at          , 0x10005b2	]}; // H. Patah
key <AE03> { [     3, numbersign  , 0x10005b3	]}; // H.  Qamats
key <AE04> { [     4, dollar      , 0x10005b4	]}; // Hiriq
(according to the xorg's hebrew il layout file in : 
file:///usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/il )

I am attaching a screen capture with an OpenOffice document and a generated PDF
of the same document. (funny... the pdf almost generate it correctly)

you can see in the photo how it should be as displayed with fonts:
 "Ezra Sil" and "Deja Vu Sans"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:

(using Open Office 2.2 Writer)

Steps to Reproduce:

3.

Actual results:

Expected results:
should be similar to "Ezra Sil" or "Deja Vu Sans" fonts

i've just downloaded "fontmatrix" and "fontforge" and found out that liberation
fonts does not have Hebrew glyphs implemented at all :-(

i was actually getting another font instead of liberation when i choose it in
Writer (Open Office) and i didn't know.

i'll try to figure out which font it really is.

any ideas how i could do that ?

Hi Nadev,

On gnome desktop, press alt-f2 to open 'run application' window. Input
'gucharmap' to open character map. Click 'menu > 'by unicode block', select
hebrew on the left list. On the characters in the right hand side grid, right
click and hold. You will see which font is used to display such character. on my
RHEL5 machine, it shows either 'Miriam Mono CLM' or 'Aharoni CLM'.

Please reconfirm openoffice is using such two fonts on your machine for those
characters. Feel free to reopen this bug if you found this is still
liberation-font's defect. Thank you very much.

Best Regards,
Caius.

thank you for "Discovering America" for me :-)
i did not knew that gucharmap could do that !
(btw. do you know a tool that can show the font family/name of the underling
text under the mouse pointer ? )

i had other UI font issues with OOo 2.3 see bugs:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431608
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=434705

after a complete system update... OOo version 2.3
the issue was gone :-)

i found out that "Liberation Sans" font was using "DejaVu Sans" for hebrew
glyphs and that it is working just fine ! which means: punctuation marks are
positioned correctly :-)

let's close this one ;-)
