------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Nov 6 05:49:55 -0800 2005 ------- In a default installation of OpenOffice.org, when you write in Greek (for example, in Writer), the default font chosen is an Asian full-width font. This Asian font 1. has Greek characters due to a Japanese/Korean standard requiring them. 2. however it is full width (spacing is to big for western languages) 3. however it lacks characters with accents (they do not appear on screen) Free/open-source fonts with Greek characters are 1. FreeFonts (FreeSans, FreeSerif, FreeMono), available by default with most Linux distributions 2. MgOpen fonts (MgOpen Canonica, MgOpen Moderna, MgOpen Cosmetica, MgOpen Modata), available by default in Ubuntu Linux. Fonts found at http://www.ellak.gr/fonts/mgopen/ <a href="http://util.openoffice.org/source/browse/util/officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/VCL.xcu";>VCL.xcu </a> does not have a section for Greek. Adding such a section and including Greek fonts appears to solve the problem. However, when you choose from the font menu a font to display greek text, and this font does not have greek characters, OOo falls back to the Asian font. According to the last comment at <a href="http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=16746";>bug 16746</a>, "Greek characters have been treated wrong in the past (as CTL chars) see also issue 30465. This will finally work in OO.o 1.1.3 (not yet available). Considering issue as fixed." I am not sure if there is a regression here. I have created a custom VCL.xcu which includes a greek font (FreeSans) in every field for the "en" and "el" sections. When I choose a font that does not have Greek for some Greek text, the Asia font is chosen. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
