Images showing rendering in 4.4 master and MS Word (2011, Mac)

A couple of unrelated bugs have been fixed in 4.4 master, so the originally
reported bug can now be seen more clearly. Please disregard the test documents
and images I previously attached.

A workaround for the reported problem is to set "Options – Language Settings –
Asian Layout – Character Spacing" to "No compression".


The images in the attached zip show some of the originally attached text
rendered with and without character compression in 4.4 master in various fonts,
and in MS Word (2011, Mac).

As I see it, the images show three issues remaining:
1) Only when "Character Spacing" is set to something other than "No
compression", the compressed punctuation is not always properly aligned within
its space allocation. This occurs in some fonts but not others
2) The compression applied seems much stronger than in MS Word. For instance,
in the attached sample images, punctuation in Word is compressed from 26 screen
pixels variously down to a minimum of 22 (~85% size), whereas in Writer the
same punctuation is compressed from 30 pixels down to as few as 15 (50% size).
Although I'm not an expert in Asian typography, this seems like too much.
3) A consistent fallback font isn't being selected for the missing font in the
original document. The characters have a higgledy-piggledy look as though
selected from several different fonts.
