--- Comment #5 from Jonathan Clark <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Hossein from comment #4) > I suggest reverting the title as it was, and then I can file another bug > report for "Overlapping ligature glyphs involving font fallback in certain > languages". I support keeping this bug on the topic of language detection, but I think there are a few separate issues included in this one. Some of them are NOTOURBUG, some of them warrant their own bug(s). The first issue is an ER to assign languages automatically on copy and paste. This is quite difficult to do in general, but we could at least try. We already have other open bugs related to this, so this may be a duplicate. The second issue is that our font fallback mechanism is not rendering text correctly in certain cases. (Overlapping ligatures.) The third issue is that font fallback may be producing surprising results, such as incorrect font selection or major differences in document appearance when switching between different languages. This is an OS problem. The fourth issue is an ER to automatically assign a font with language coverage on paste, instead of relying on fallback working correctly. We don't ship fonts for many of these languages, so we would need to somehow scan installed fonts and make a good choice. Seems tricky, but might be worth having on file. > While testing, I found that even setting the language to "None" instead of > "Default" can fix the issue I see here.

Setting language to "none" may also make the situation worse, for some users. I encourage you to play around with the fc-match command a bit, to see how sensitive this process is. > In the end, I think if Gedit can display the plain text correctly, > LibreOffice should be able to that on the same machine with the same > configuration. Gedit is likely doing the same thing we do with language "None", except without all of the same bugs we have. It's also probably not displaying all of the languages correctly on your machine. The codepoint 语 for instance is common in the endonyms of East Asian languages, but the appearance changes depending on whether it is written in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, or Japanese. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
