Summary: Arabic letters not positioned correctly Product: Wine Version: 0.9.28. Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: wine-gdi-(printing) AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: email.ahmedkamal@googlemail.com
I have an urgent need to run acrobat reader v3 on wine/linux. I linked wine with ICU, together with this patch http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-December/034248.html to get proper arabic shaping.
The final issue faced now, is that arabic letters are not displayed in their correct location. i.e. a character is either overwriting the next character, or it is too far away with a white space between them! This does make the text difficult to read.
This issue is rather urgent to me, so please do contact me if you know a way around this. Thanks.
