Khaled:

When you say "This was never the case on Linux, and no longer the case on other
platforms in 5.3; we have full control over the text layout and font fallback."
it isn't clear to me what you mean by "this."

I was referring to undesirable font substitutions made while using Writer on
Linux, which happens quite regularly and is rather easy to demonstrate by
choosing a font for some passage that is known to have glyphs/characters
required and then saving the file as either an .fodt or a pdf. These can be
examined (in a text editor or Acrobat Reader respectively to see which fonts
were actually used). I do suspect that how the fonts reported their
capabilities has something to do with this, but I take pains to select the
fonts carefully.

In the case of Thai, for instance, even with all the CTL settings set up for
that, this happened to me just last week with one of the fonts in the tlwg
group (the "official" set of fonts used by the Thai government, although I
don't recall which one at the moment).

And particularly with Thai, I just noticed today that with the most recent
release (5.2.3.2) the diacritic vowels are no longer rendered correctly in
Writer using ANY font; I even went back and opened some earlier documents that
displayed and printed correctly in earlier versions and they don't display
correctly either.

But, as I said, this seems to me to be a different issue than the bullet issue,
so probably belongs somewhere else.
