| Summary | 0013399: Combining Diacritics are not placed correctly and will not stack. | ||||
| Description | Scribus positions and stacks diacritics perfectly in the Story Editor. However on the page all diacritics are positioned wrong and they do not stack like they should. This happens in Windows and on Mac. It happens in version 1.4.4, 1.4.5, and 1.5. I have attached a image to show Scribus doing it wrong, and MS Word doing it correctly. Diacritics use anchor points to position themselves correctly. Scribus must not be using those anchor points on the text box. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Load the attached text file into a textbox and use Arial font. You will see it displayed correctly in the Story Editor, but Wrong in on the main page. | ||||
| Additional Information | Combining diacritics are marks that sit above letters and help that letter to form a new letter. They are used very extensively in different languages though out the World, and Scribus cannot be used by those languages unless diacritics are positioned correctly. You can copy the data below to test with: Use Arial font. a? = a + 0303 a? = a + 0301 a? = a + 0308 a? = a + 0306 a? = a + 030A a? = a + 030C a?? a?? a?? a?? a + 0303 + 0301 a + 0308 + 0306 a + 030A + 030C a + 0308 + 0303 | ||||
