The presentation

I encountered a presentation in Hebrew, which has additional characters in slide show than in edit mode. The characters replace most of the space in the original strings, meaning the text is hard to read.

I couldn't reproduce the problem with OOo RC7, while it does happen in LibO RC1, both on Debian sid AMD64.

The file itself and screen shots (2nd slide) are attached.

I couldn't reprocedure this issue in Libo-3.3rc1 on Ubunu 10.10, maybe it is a Debian reletaed bug?

Caolan, Thorsten: Can it be caused by the recent cairo canvas related changes?
Comment 6 Caolán McNamara 2010-12-21 08:52:36 UTC
The "LibO vs OOo" difference is quite possibly just the different defaults for the backend. i.e. toggle tools->options->view->"use hardware acceleration" in either app and see if it makes a difference, which I bet it will.

bug 31243 was the one we fixed relatively recently around glyph substitution in cairo canvas

This looks good in master for me at the moment anyway. I'm pretty sure that was fixed *after* RC1 so I think we will have this fixed in RC2 which will be available soon. 

Please test in that in a few days and reopen if I'm wrong about this.

Looks fine in RC2. Thanks.
