DL->FME: Could you please takeover?
Comment 5 frank.meies 2003-08-14 13:14:01 UTC 
FME->HDU: Everything looks fine with a 'regular' font. The problem
seems to be that the quotation marks are not contained in the font and
the glyph fallback takes over. Could you please have a look?

If it is a font problem, then why does MS word display this currectly
using the same font on the same machine?
Comparing the two screenshots, it looks like both are using the same
glyph- so I dubt that word fell back to a diffrent font.
Comment 8 hdu@apache.org 2003-08-18 14:36:57 UTC 
The word order problem got solved between 1.1.beta2 and 
1.1.1rc3. 
 
There were still problems with bad text display seen here 
(internal reminder #111016#). The reason was there is no font 
fallback from the documents font "NarkisimMF" to the available 
"Narkisim" yet, so another less appropriate font got used. By the 
way, where does "NarkisimMF" come from? The text display 
problem observed will be fixed in 1.1.1 (CWS vcl7pp1r1 + CWS 
vcl7pp1r2 combined).

I hope they will fix the RC dowload page soon, so I can see for myself.

>where does "NarkisimMF" come from?

NarkisimMF is the master font version of Narkisim:
http://www.masterfont.co.il (the site right now has a notice that it
is down for updates)

It is NOT the same version that comes with Windows.
