FL: Here are my results after I did some investigation with help of the Writer
team.
Original problem of current issue: Character 0x25CB not found in OpenSymbol.
This would be fixed by this issue. Maybe some regressions in Math or with other
symbols due to font problems with the changed OpenSymbol font.
Related problems not addressed today :
1. Sizes of bullets are to big (especially #2, #5, #8)
2. Sizes of bullets are not relative to font used in paragraph due to assigned
“Bullet” character style)
3. Bullets (especially #2, #5, #8) do not look very good (fixed for OOo with
this current issue, but still valid for SO due to use of different font)
Other aspects:
- old document must not change when loaded in newer version of OOo
Discussed solutions:
1. Change sized of the characters in the OpenSymbol / StarSymbol font to get rid
of the “Bullet” character style -> has been rejected
2. Change size attribute in “Bullet” character style from 9 to 8 or 7 pt ->
does not solve problem #2 and #3.
3. Change size using hard coded size calculation -> high effort, maybe probs
with old documents but would solve #1-2
4. Use new set of symbols -> would fix #1-3 if there are better ones in
StarSymbol and OpenSymbol. But why we hadn't used those from the very beginning?
Root cause analysis:
We have defined wrong bullet characters in specification. Input on these
characters used came from development. Nobody ever challenged the symbols used
in the spec. Then change did not made it into OOo 2.0 final, because change got
lost on integration in master (two times). Then integrated for PP1 too shortly
before release of OOo 2.0.1, so problem had been overlooked. Furthermore
StarSymbol font is present on all systems used @Sun, so OpenSymbol font didn't
get used on in-house testing, even if OOo version was tested.
Solution
The solution of entire problem is very easy and i63395 handles this needed
change. We need to use exactly the same bullets used after importing a Microsoft
Word document. The font substitutionof OOo will handle systems where those fonts
are not present. Then the round trip experience is good and even problem #3 will
get fixed.
Unfortunately this means that the changed OpenSymbol font of this issue will
only be used when loading old OOo 2.0.0 - 2.0.1 documents. But nevertheless we
need the current fix for OOo 2.0.3. to fix the missing character in those cases.
