LibreOffice HTML to PDF conversion, character ending with not converted properly
We are using LO 5.4 for converting HTML to PDF via UNO API. It works fine for most languages but one particular language i.e. Malayalam has some characters (called chillu) which had a representation ending with (Zero Width Joiner).
When we convert these characters where we apply Malayalam font-family explicitly then the conversion is fine.
e.g.<span style="font-family:Meera">ന്‍</span>
Here the character is converted as expected i.e ന്
But when the content has no font-family and inherits the base family from html body which is English (e.g. Verdana) then the character is not converted properly.
e.g.<span>ന്‍</span>
In this case the output is ന് instead of ന് eventhough the font embedded to display this word is same one i.e. Meera
Can somebody throw some light on how this work.
