Re: Bug in Gtk+ text viewer/editor widget

["Meor Ridzuan Meor Yahaya" <meor dot ridzuan at gmail dot com>]

Salam,

Please indicate the software version you are using. The the important
component is pango, gtk and the application (gedit in this case). In
my (limited) knowledge, (advance) line wrapping is done by
application, so it might be gedit's fault.

As far as I can recall (vaguely), I never had that problem with my
Quran text and font, by using gedit. I did had some other problem,
though.

Regards.
