Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 67197
Bold Asian characters in vertical writing got rotated.
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:15:21 UTC
Phenomenon: See a snapshot attached. Asian characters in vertical writing should not be rotated. Bold one, however, got rotated. Reproduction: Solaris 10 x64/x86 with Japanese language support LANG environment variable: ja_JP.UTF-8 Desktop: Java Desktop System (JDS) Target: OOo_2.0.3rc7_060622_Solarisx86_install_ja_wJRE.tar.gz 1. Open the bugdoc.odt attached and confirm the direction of characters.
Created attachment 37628 [details] A bugdoc.odt
Created attachment 37629 [details] Its appearance on the display
Created attachment 37630 [details] Its appearance in PDF format
One additional thing. The direction of characters in PDF format seems correct, but italic, vertical one is rendered from left upper to right bottom, which looks a little bit confusing. The curve might be expected in an opposite way.
Please ignore the comment above, which should be in the issue 67167.
Created attachment 37633 [details] With "export SAL_ENABLE_NATIVE_XFONTS=0", the direction of vertical Asian characters becomes fine.
Reassigned to SBA.
SBA->HDU: PLease proceed, thx. Reassigned to HDU.
duplicate of issue 24362 please decide which one to keep and close the other one.
This issue differs from the issue 24362. Please do not confuse. A main cause of this issue seems to come from an unexpected behavior of the font name looking-up system. A user specifies Japanese font in the document, but the system finds a Chinese font, and then the similar phenomenon as the issue 24362 happens. We might need to look into the looking-up system, not a rendering system, in order to solve the problem described in this issue. The issue 24362 sorely points a problem with a font that seems not to have vertical substitution glyphs in it. Thanks.
