This is how the same text looks in Libreoffice Writer, with the same font and with Liberation Sans Is there anything Scribus can do? |
|
|
Seems ok at high zoom levels although at full page level zoom there is a slight difference. Not has bad as the original screenshot but maybe that's advances in harfbuzz over time. |

I checked last HarfBuzz release 14.2.0 and it works fine. to test yourself the text here (وَ̅ٱ̅سۡ̅جُ̅دُ̅و̅ا۟̅ ̅لِ̅لَّ̅هِ̅) and the font is attached in this bug report. Now we need to test scribus against latest version of harfbuzz. @munzir could you please test it in your machine since you are using Arch Linux? if possible install harfbuzz 14.2 and scribus 1.7.4 |

Thanks Fahad. I am using the latest versions and I confirm the bug is still there. |
