screen shot showing corrupted Arabic text.
Investigation shows it only happens in the SVG renderer. Reassigning to Sheldon. Investigation shows it only happens in the SVG renderer. Reassigning to Sheldon. Actually the submitter's screenshot shows it happens in the layout view, but I haven't been able to reproduce it with this example, for me it displays the right string, and also when previewed in PNG. It should be noted if the adobe svg viewer is used to view SVG charts the end user needs to install the specific svg viewer language plugin. Also note that the adobe svg viewer only supports certain languages (refer to http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/mainframed.html). Note that the adobe viewer does not support arabic. I will see what happens when using firefox 1.5.

Indeed, This problem occurs in the layout view. When choosing to preview the chart in JPG format, the arabic text was displayed correctly (ordered and shaped). For the layout view problem, I see you're running on Linux. Have you been able to display arabic text correctly in other parts of the reports like in labels for instance? That might be some SWT arabic font issue with Linux? (In reply to comment #8) >Any Arabic text written inside the chart is not displayed correctly (not ordered or shaped), however it is displayed correctly in all other parts inside the report and outside the chart. The SVG version is correct. The text is ordered correctly. Using Firefox 1.5 the text is correct. Using IE+Adobe SVG Viewer 3.x the text is ordered correctly however the characters are not joined. Is this what you mean by shaped? I believe this is a limitation to the Adobe SVG viewer. The contents of the svg file is correct. I will attach a sample svg file that illustrates this.

Reassigning to David since this may be a problem with the SWT renderer. Probably a linux issue with SWT. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 136472 *** Keeping as a seperate bug, we are expecting a fix for this defect in R3.2 Ahmed, if this bug really is a duplicate of bug 136472, it does not make any sense to reopen it. Zhiqiang, if you are certain this is a dup of bug 136472, please re-resolve it as such. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 136472 *** The platform team has decided to defer 136372 until the next release due to the potential risk. change milestone to 2.1.1 since this is not fixed by platform team in 3.2 yet.
