Feature request : Add Indic complex supplement script support.

[rashidi77]

I installed Office 2010 on a Windows XP 32bit wineprefix. Now I can type English but can't type Bangla in unicode. Whatever font I use it places the characters in incorrect order. It seems it's something related to Windows' complex script support (which can be enabled by Windows XP's Control Panel's Language section). There is nothing related to the language preferences in the wine Control Panel. I though it would be useful if winetricks could do something to enable complex script support by loading any dll/script/regedit file.

While I'm open to adding something like that, I have no idea what would be needed to enable complex script support. I suspect that this may be a low level dll that can't be overridden, but I don't know for sure.

Without knowing what changes are needed though, this is unlikely to see any progress.

Does winetricks -q usp10 help?

Does winetricks -q usp10 help?

Yes, it worked. I guess this issue can be closed now.

winetricks -q usp10

Update, it seems Arabic texts are still broken. No fonts work properly.

I don't understand Arabic, so I don't know what's wrong.

You could try native dwrite (there's no support for it in winetricks, so you'd have to do it manually, it's in win7sp1, at x86_microsoft-windows-directwrite_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.17514_none_d4a4d90d5db128bf/dwrite.dll.

The characters are still misplaced in Arabic, although the Word processor now identifying it as a RTL language after the usp10 dll overwrite. The problem is also remaining with a few Bengali characters (not all).

I see. I'll try it.

I guess it is already fixed, https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24732

Also the font needs to have both Latin and other language glyphs. E.g., Arial Unicode font.
