Persian font renderring difference between libreoffice (3.6.*) and (3.5.*)

Persian Font rendering in Libreoffice 3.6.4 on Arch linux and Ubuntu 12.10 and Mint 14 is very bad.
In Ubuntu 12.04 (libreoffice 3.5.*) font rendering for Persian letters was awesome.
Here is 2 pictures to see the Persian font renderring difference between libreoffice (3.6.*) and (3.5.*) (attachment)
Except the Specific words that I circled with red color in picture, the whole Persian font rendering in libreOffice 3.5.* is much more smooth than 3.6.*.

This is an old bug that apears again! Why? I don't know
This bug only apears when the text is in justified mode.
Comment 4 Eman Amini 2013-01-10 22:26:58 UTC
This problem affect all languages that use Arabic scripts.
Comment 5 Masoud Pourmoosa 2013-01-11 11:10:19 UTC
As a native Persian speaker, I can see and confirm the problem by looking at the screenshots.
Comment 6 Urmas 2013-01-23 12:49:47 UTC
Lowering severity. Also the actual text document would be helpful.
Comment 7 AshkanV 2013-02-06 07:40:56 UTC
I also confirm that. It is a little ugly and annoying in viewing and printing.
Comment 8 AshkanV 2013-02-21 17:03:51 UTC
I also downloaded LibreOffice 4.0.0.3 and the problem is still there.
I use fedora 18 + Gnome.

Actual Document Sample

This is the actual document, I created from some sample text in Persian and from the Farsi-Wikipedia page of LibreOffice.

I marked the bad rendering of font by red color. Also you may change the zoom level of the document to see the problematic part in all of theme.
Comment 10 Eman Amini 2013-03-13 12:08:52 UTC
It is still here. LO Version 4.0.1.2
I didn't see this problem on windows OS but on Arch Linux the program is still annoying me.
Please someone do something about it.

The problem is still here in LibreOffice 4.3.1.2!
When it will be solved?
We use LO Writer daily and it's an ugly BUG!

Its a lot less likely that this bug gets attention as you marked it "WONTFIX" instead of keeping it a duplicate of fdo#62751/fdo#35320 as it was before by aalharthi@kacst.edu.sa on 2013-04-06 11:22:36 CEST.

Restoring that now. I note though, this bug refers to a specific subset of the problem that it refers to as a regression. If this should be individually tracked that might be sensible, but obviously, the bug should neither be marked as resolved then.
