Test Document containing text and embedded 'Noto Nastaliq Urdu' font
We do not currently have a way to disable Kashida justification and force using spaces only for Arabic text, which is breaking this font. This probably requires both UX input (who would this be handled? in MS Office the full justification button has a menu this shows three levels of justification), and whether ODT format supports such control (OOXML probably does). Dear Nasir, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.freenode.net/#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Created attachment 153679 [details] PDF Document showing difference in rendering while justified Whenever some Arabic/Urdu text is in 'Noto Nastaliq Urdu' font and text alignment is justified, text does not render correctly in LibreOffice. LibreOffice apparently tries justify text using Tatweel characters which causes the shapes to be broken. A sample pdf file is attached which contains right aligned and justified text and rendering difference. This problem occurs in all LibreOffice versions.
