Like I said it does not have fallback support for fonts with missing or incomplete feature set. What's worth testing: - Arabic rendering in general for obviously misplaced shapes; - multiple diacritic marks. AFAIK there are some formalized rules for visual stacking order, it would be interesting to see what happens on Windows too; - interaction with user features. Office allows additional features to be applied by the user, like stylistic sets. If that normally applies to Arabic fonts, it would be good to know if it's broken in some way. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44826 --- Comment #21 from Nikolay Sivov <bunglehead(a)gmail.com> --- Typing might be some other issue.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44826 --- Comment #23 from Nikolay Sivov <bunglehead(a)gmail.com> --- I'm planning on getting this in right after wine 6.0. So please test some more, for example one missing bit is diacritic marks reordering, that I think happens when you have more than one mark stacked, and order in which these are typed in should not affect visual order, or something along these lines. I realize it'd be easier to test if typing actually worked. Regarding input handling, as I recall you had to install/enable language support for Arabic in Word explicitly, it has some UI with a list of languages it supports. After that Word detects input language using current keyboard layout, which for Wine means that switching layout while Word is running is not detected by the application. It should probably work if you switch to Arabic layout before running Word. I don't remember now how current locale affects this, it's been awhile since I tried. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44826 --- Comment #24 from bilux <i.bilux(a)gmail.com> --- (In reply to Nikolay Sivov from comment #23) I used the copy/paste method as mentioned before to test diacritic marks reordering, and its working fine. I have installed and enabled Arabic language support in Word, but it still writing letters backward and disconnected. I have noticed that when I pasted a text the language is set to Arabic in the status bar. But when I type the words the language is set to English in the status bar, and I won't change when try to change it. I have switched to Arabic layout before running Word but it doesn't work. It's like it doesn't know that I'm writing in Arabic. Also, spelling and Grammar works fine for Arabic when I paste a text. PS: The typing bug only occurs in Word 2013. It doesn't happen for Excel 2013 or Word 2010. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44826 --- Comment #25 from Nikolay Sivov <bunglehead(a)gmail.com> --- Have you tried running with Arabic locale? You can temporary set it as 'LANG=ar_AE.UTF-8 wine WINWORD.EXE', as an example for Emirates variant, you would use whatever is installed and appropriate for you. If this is specific to Word, it's better to open another report just for that, as it's clearly not the shaping issue, but is a step before that. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

Wine 6.1 is first release that has it working. Let me know if you see any issues with Word or otherwise.
Yes, I can confirm that arabic is working in the latest wine update. Thank you very much for the great work. But, I have noticed a minor issue concerning some connected letters like in attachment 69314. The word "جلال" is written using four letters "ج ل ا ل" like in the first case (Upper word), but its not showing correctly as the the third letter "ا" should be diagonal. In the second case (Lower word), The word "جلال" is written using three letters "ح ﻻ ل", here the letter "ا" is diagonal, but the letter "ج" is not connected the the letter "ﻻ" as you can see. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

But, I have noticed a minor issue concerning some connected letters like in attachment 69314 [details]. The word "جلال" is written using four letters "ج ل ا ل" like in the first case (Upper word), but its not showing correctly as the the third letter "ا" should be diagonal.
Which font are you testing with? For me Noto Sans Arabic with notepad++ shows correct ligature.
In the second case (Lower word), The word "جلال" is written using three letters "ح ﻻ ل", here the letter "ا" is diagonal, but the letter "ج" is not connected the the letter "ﻻ" as you can see.
This one is using presentation form, am I right? It's 0xfefb for UTF-16 as a single character representing ligature. My guess is that it's not classified correctly, I'll need to look into it to see how it should work. Could you open a new report or two for these two issues? Note that it's necessary to know exact font you're using. Now that it works in general with some remaining bugs, I'm going to close this. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44826 --- Comment #35 from Nikolay Sivov <bunglehead(a)gmail.com> --- I tested some more, and for Noto Sans Arabic I get same results as on windows for presentation form ligature - it's not handled, everything is left unshaped. For first issue you mentioned I was unable to reproduce both with Noto Sans and Arial, it shows up with correct ligature for me. So in order to reproduce I'll definitely need to know exact font that was used. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

I have used "Times New Roman" forn. But, you are correct the bug is not showing in "Noto Sans Arabic".

Yes, it is 0xfefb for UTF-16, a ligature of two characters combined as one new letter.
Could you open a new report or two for these two issues? Note that it's necessary to know exact font you're using.
