I have tested OOo 1.1.2 and OOo 1.1.3 on FreeBSD 5.2.1 (XFree86 and 
Xorg) and 4.10/XFree86 .

On both platforms there is a problem with arabic fonts. They are not 
rendered correctly. All letters of  arabic texts are more or less 
written on a heap (above each other).

I suppose that these error is platform dependant since I did not hear 
about any problems with linux recently. But I know that Mandrake Linux 
has had this problem too. On this platform it was related to the version 
of libfreetype.

Is this error already known or even beeing actively investigated? Since 
this error seems to be platform related to whom should I send an error 
report?

Regards

Georg Wagner
