Description Vladimir Volovich 2008-12-28 23:36:06 UTC
Please describe the problem:
The page http://tanach.us/Tanach.xml#FontTest contains a word occuring in Job 7:11 which is not rendered correctly.

this word contains the following characters:

U+05D0 HEBREW LETTER ALEF
U+05B2 HEBREW POINT HATAF PATAH
U+200D ZERO WIDTH JOINER
U+05BD HEBREW POINT METEG
U+05AD HEBREW ACCENT DEHI
U+05D3 HEBREW LETTER DALET
U+05B7 HEBREW POINT PATAH
U+05D1 HEBREW LETTER BET
U+05BC HEBREW POINT DAGESH OR MAPIQ
U+05B0 HEBREW POINT SHEVA
U+05E8 HEBREW LETTER RESH
U+05B8 HEBREW POINT QAMATS
U+05D4 HEBREW LETTER HE


Steps to reproduce:
1. make sure you have the SBL Hebrew font.

  if you don't have it, download it from
  http://www.sbl-site.org/Fonts/SBL_Hbrw.ttf
  and put it into your ~/.fonts/ directory.

  verify that the font is present:

$ fc-match "SBL Hebrew"
SBL_Hbrw.ttf: "SBL Hebrew" "Regular"

2. create a text file test.txt containing a sample text.
  save the below 4 lines into test.uu:

begin 644 test.txt
;UY#6LN*`C=:]UJW7D]:WUY'6O-:PUZC6N->4
`
end

  and run "uudecode test.uu"

  you'll get the file test.txt which contains the above characters.

3. run
   pango-view --font="SBL Hebrew 48" --markup test.txt

4. compare the image with the "correct rendering" shown here:
   http://tanach.us/Images/Job7.11.jpg


Actual results:
i get the text rendered but the accents under the aleph are mis-ordered. i'll attach the sample image i get.


Expected results:
text should have rendered similarly to what is shown in
http://tanach.us/Images/Job7.11.jpg


Does this happen every time?
yes

rendering from pango-view --font="Ezra SIL SR 48" --markup test.txt

rendering of the same text with the Ezra SIL SR font (SILEOTSR.ttf) differs in accent ordering under aleph compared to "SBL Hebrew" (why?), but still different from correct rendering shown at http://tanach.us/Images/Job7.11.jpg
