Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 36733
Hebrew font entirely bold when opening 1.1.x file in 2.0
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Opening the document in the link (which was created using OOo 1.1.x) with OOo 1.9.56 causes it to be opened with wrong display - there's no anti-aliasing, the numbers look badly, etc. I'm using it on Mandrake 10.1 Official Edition. Also, the PDF export causes it to look badly as well.
Looks acceptable to me in m60, could you please attach a screenshot?
reassigned to US.
Well, it looks better now, the fonts are OK. The only problem is that the Hebrew font is entirely bold.
Displays quite nice for me. Pls. test again in forthcomming OO.o 1.9.64 and comment. Thanks.
Have you tried it with a later version of OOo (say 1.9.58, 60 or 62)? Does this problem occur there also? If not: Could you please close this issue?

OK, I checked with m60 (and am downloading m62 now and will check with it later). It is displayed incorrectly and I've attached a screenshot to prove it. Is anyone here also using OpenOffice on Mandrake? (preferably 10.1 Official Edition)

Still not good in 1.9.62 (at least not on Mandrake 10.1 OE)
hi shlomif, looks good here with m87 on SuSE 9.2 The font OOo is using here is 'David'. The first line of the doc gets displayed as David, 16, Bold. The text in the table gets displayed as David, 14, NON-Bold.
SHLOMIF->MAXWEBER: aarrggh! With OOo 1.9.87, there are many problems: anti-aliased fonts, wrong fonts, mis-aligned lines, wrong vertical-alignment. I'll attach a screenshot.

Cannot reprocude with m89 on SuSE 9.2, enabled CTL in Tools -> Options -> language settings -> languages. Mandrake only issue?
@shlomif: Have you tried it with a newer version of OOo than 1.9.87? Does this problem occurs there, too? Or could you close this issue, please? Cannot test it here, sorry ... :(
Do you have the font installed at all? Where can one get the font "David"?
@cloph: afaik David is part of the culmus font package. Refer to: http://culmus.sourceforge.net/main.html
The culmus-package indeed contains a David Font, but it is called "David CLM" and OOo doesn't know it as a replacement for "David" - one has to assign it manually. Furthermore It looks very different than in the screenshot. The David CLM is a italic-style font. If the font has the same design as "original" David, then it is clear that the font is not installed and this issue probably is a worksforme.

Created attachment 27444 [details] File opened without assigning the David CLM manually, glyph-fallback kicks in.
shlomif: Do you really have the font installed? Is the Culmus font the right one?
shlomif->cloph: I do have the Culmus fonts installed (and I think also the fonts from the Hebrew-enabled Windows). However, now that I've tried it on Mandriva 2005 LE with 1.9.113, the document is displayed all wrong. I will attach a screenshot shortly.

Well, I've now temporarily switched to my Kubuntu 5.04 system. There, the document is initially opened with the "David" font completely anti-aliased (despite the fact that "David" is aliased to "David CLM" on my system) when I convert the entire document to "David CLM", it looks fine.

If I interpret your comment correctly, then you don't have any problems on another system. So the problem seems to lay somewhere in the configuration/libs of the mandriva box. Do you agree with closing this issue as worksforme?
shlomif: Do you agree with closing? Or did I misunderstand your comment?
cloph: well, actually, I do have problems in this regard on the Kubuntu system, it's just that they're different, and can be resolved. You are right that the problem probably seems to lay somewhere in the Mandriva's configuration, and probably specific to it. I'd like to get to the bottom of the problem with the Mandriva configuration. Maybe it's a mismatch between OOo and Mandriva that has to be fixed. But if you feel it's appropriate to close this issue as WORKSFORME, then it's OK.
closing for now. Not reproducible. I still think that it is a problem due to missing fonts.
closing for now. Feel free to reopen if you can give the necessary information to reproduce.
