Screen shot of 6pt default paste in several languages showing font format
problems

Either using the text box tool (horizontal or vertical) or pasting text from
the clip board, Arabic script text (fa, ku tested failed, ru, en-us tested no
problem, 4 keyboard limit in Linux, alas) appears in a fixed character format
that can't be changed (font, size, variation, etc).  

Copy paste is the same though, so apparently georgian works, but hindi doesn't. 

Set the default font to, say 
Western: Noto Sans, regular, 6pt English (USA)
Asian: Noto Sans CJK SC, regular, 6pt, Chinese (simplified)

And past the below (unformatted text) into a blank spot on a document creating
a text box.

cat
قطة
կատու
pişik
বিড়াল
ကြောင်
kočka
گربه
კატა
חתול
ngeru
ネコ

What the grbH? 

OK, now select the text box you just created and Format->Character and change
the font size to 60 pt.  

WHUT????  OK, try selecting the text and changing the format - try changing
just  قطة.  Can't do it.  

OK, now try in writer.  Huh, perfecto.   Change the font size?  no problemo.
Calc?  no problems.  Impress?  لا مشكلة

Only draw is having this problem.  And it isn't LTR/RTL.  

Work around: set the type in Inkscape, export line by line as .svg, import,
assemble.  Tedious....
