Bug ID: 46747 Summary: Arabic letters are not connected in MS Office 2013 Product: Wine Version: 4.2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: akram_ma@hotmail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 63748 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=63748 MS Word 2013 in ar_YE.UTF-8 locale
I did a clean prefix as follows
created Win 7 32bit
Then installed from WineTricks: Core Fonts, Tahoma Font, msxml6, riched20, usp10
and Added reg key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D] "MaxVersionGL"=dword:00030002
Then installed Office 2013 Pro (Arabic Version)
Installation went fine with one minor problem: I cannot customize installation. Once I hit the down arrow to show drop down menu to customize which component to choose from. Once I hit to show, it drops down and disappear in half a second.
I was able to run all programs except: OneNote shows a message cannot continue please install Windows Desktop Experience Word, Excel, Publisher, PowerPoint, Access and Outlook run fine so far.
One major problem with all running applications is Arabic representation:
Word Arabic letters are not connected at all and are typed from left to right as if English. Others Other apps type Arabic in the right way with no problem. All Arabic letters are not connected in main menu and sub menus in all apps. Letter are typed from right to left correctly but not connected
If I switch the locale language to Arabic for example ar_YE.UTF-8: Word Arabic letters are still not connected but word direction is fine (rtl); however, English is typed from right to left Others Other apps work fine. All Menus still have the same problem
I attached a picture of Word 2013 in ar_YE.UTF-8 locale. English words (This is a book) are type backward, and All Arabic letters are not connected, although some tips boxes and sub sub menus are fine.
