             Bug #: 48732
           Summary: Hebrew Nikud still not represented properly
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.5.2 Release
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium

Screenshot of text in Davkawriter (GIF)

The situation with Hebrew nikud may have improved slightly with 3.5.2 over the
original report in 3.4.2 -- it gets one of them right, but still fails with a
number of other examples.

The first attachment (screenshot) shows the text as it should be in
DavkaWriter, a proprietory Hebrew/English WP.  The second attachment
(screenshot) shows the text when pasted into LO-writer 3.5.2  The third
attachment (ODT) is the saved file from LO 3.5.2

Reading from right to left, the first word is OK.

The second word looks correct, but I;m not convinced: it has both a dagesh
(dot) in the centre of the second letter and a holem (dot) vowel at its top
left corner.  It is unclear whether the vowel is in the consonant space
correctly or not.

The third word is clearly incorrect: the present of a dagesh (dot) in the first
consonant has displaced the patakh (dash) vowel from under the first letter to
the left where is has created a non-accessible space after the first letter.

The fourth word is again incorrect, as the presence of the dagesh (dot) in the
second letter has displaced the sh'va (double dot) vowel to the left and
created another non-accessible space in the word.
