problems with arabic fonts in version 1.1.1 and 1.1.2

[Georg Wagner]

Hallo,

I tried the german versions 1.1.1 for FreeBSD-4.10 and 1.1.2 for 
FreeBSD-5.2.1.
Both had problems with arabic fonts. All arabic letters were printed on 
a heap (depending from the font the effect was weaker or stronger, but 
no font worked correctly).

Since the old version de-openoffice-1.1.0_1 from 
http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/ did not have that problem ( the 
version openoffice-1.1.0_1 for 4.11 worked too) . I am wondering what is 
going on.

I found on the internet some remarks about the versions for Mandrake 
Linux, which seemed to have the same problem. There it was related to 
the freetype2 libraries.

Is this problem already known and being worked on?

Regards

Georg
