Hebrew font rendering incorrect

Post by csbrown »

I am running theWord under wine on MacOS High Sierra

This is mostly working well, however, some aspects of the rendering of Hebrew fonts appear incorrect.

In the attached image, the top 2 lines of text shows the font rendering in Wine. The bottom 2 lines of text are the same text rendered in Windows 7. I have circled some of the incorrect rendering in Red.

The font I'm using is Cardo. I have tried many different fonts and this is the one with the least errors. The errors all seem to be related to incorrect positioning of diatrics and vowel pointing.

Any thoughts on things I can change that might resolve this issue, or does this need to be raised as a bug?

Thanks,

Chris

Seems similar to https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30688, but that bug was closed as abandoned over two years ago.

You haven't mentioned your Wine version. If it's not the current development release (3.2), retest in that, and if the problem is still present, file a bug.

Thank you for the response, it does sound similar to that bug.
I'm running on wine 3.0 installed using homebrew. I'll try and update to wine 3.2 then retest.
