Bug#341229: [g-i] Arabic letters aren't joined
Package: cdebconf-gtk-udeb
As already reported in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/10/msg01211.html
Arabic letters are not properly joined ad look as if they were
written "l i k e t h i s".
Same kind of problem was reported here:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-i18n-list/2003-April/msg00016.html
http://lists.arabeyes.org/archives/general/2004/July/msg00013.html
g-i currently uses http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/gtk-frontend/ttf-arabeyes.tgz
to handle Arabic fonts (ae_Tholoth.ttf in particular).
Discussing it on #arabeyes seems like the problem is related to the
GSUB table (Glyph Substitution Table) and/or to the way the pango
library is configured.
I'm not sure if this bug really belongs to cdebconf-gtk-udeb
regards,
Davide
