Description Petr Tomasek 2006-06-14 08:15:29 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Pango doesn't display correctly biblical hebrew text using the "SBL Hebrew" font (see http://www.sbl-site.org/Resources/default.aspx, download for free from: http://www.sbl-site.org/Fonts/SBLHebrew-Distributionv1.12.zip). (Consonants are rendered OK, but vowels and accents are displaced.)

Steps to reproduce:

Does this happen every time?

SBL Hebrew with OpenOffice.org 2

OO2 (using the ICU library?) renders the text with SBL Hebrew much better (at least readable)...

SBL Hebrew font version 1.07 under gedit.

It appears the problem is connected to recent SBL Hebrew versions. The attached screenshot shows the rendering with SBL Hebrew vesion 1.07 under gedit, which is perfect as far as I can see.

Dov,

Now that we have merged external HarfBuzz branch into Pango, do you feel like testing SBL Hebrew?
