Details

Description: LO 3.4.2 is not showing Hindi text correctly.


Additional info: Arch, i686,
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
Please copy and paste, for example, these words:

स्वास्थ्य उच्च रक्तचाप स्वेच्छापूर्ण उद्योग

to Libreoffice writer and it can be observed that they are displayed incorrectly even when CTL and Asian support is enabled in writer's language settings.

If you copy the above hindi words to say abiword, or calligra-words or gedit or kwrite, you can see the correct text, but in libreoffice 3.4.2 writer, the text is incorrect.

Please see the attachment
Left side - Abiword with correct hindi (indic) text rendering
Right side - Libreoffice Writer 3.4.2 with no Complext text shaping.


I work main with english and hindi documents, hence, this bug is really bugging me :)

Thanks!

Please try to find out where this bug comes from. We had an ICU updater 4.8 -> 4.8.1 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=975816
that may be a reason (try to downgrade) or its caused by using libgraphite again (rebuild LibO with --disable-graphite) and look for other users having a similar bug (any upstream reports yet?).

I downgraded icu from 4.8.1 => to 4.8-1; and hindi is working fine. yes, the words स्वास्थ्य उच्च रक्तचाप स्वेच्छापूर्ण उद्योग are also rendering fine! :)

It works after update to 4.8.1.1-1
I test it in Libreoffice 3.4.3 with स्वास्थ्य उच्च रक्तचाप स्वेच्छापूर्ण उद्योग and Persian (Farsi)

Thanks
