Cropped vowels #17

Closed philipzae closed 6 years ago

Was trying out the new vowelled version of reem with some sample text and noticed that some were going to high when inside a table and were being cropped. This was with single line spacing

reem kufi vowels

top row is how the vowels looked cropped when scrolling up and down in a document and bottom row is when alt+tabbing into LO from another app.

This is a LibreOffice bug. I increased the clipping metrics in 3e84f25bb904e16cb8329c868ccf9b170d43dbce, but it makes no difference with LibreOffice so I suspect it is not using them and is instead using the line height for clipping.

Happens in LO 5.2 as well, so not a harfbuzz regression, so guess the commit isnt really necessary. :D

It does not fix the issue in LibreOffice, but it might fix similar clipping in other Windows applications.
