------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Feb 27 00:03:23 +0000 2007 ------- I too would like to see this feature implemented, and am prepared to do the work. There needs to be some agreement on how it should be done. I can think of three options: 1) Change "Format->Character->Font Effects->Underlining" to "Underlining/Overlining" and add extra choices in the drop-down list for various overline styles. Note that this would not allow text to be both overlined and underlined. 2) Add an extra choice, "Line" to the drop-down list "Format->Character->Font Effects->Emphasis mark". Note that this drop-down list is currently only visible if support for Asian languages has been enabled, also it would appear that emphasis marks are not placed over white space (although they are placed over punctuation). 3) Add a new drop-down list, "Format->Character->Font Effects->Overlining" with the same options as for underlining. This gives the most flexibility. Option 1 is the easiest to implement (I've already done it!) and requires minimal changes to the code base. The code for rendering the overlines is already present (although a bit buggy). Option 2 is probably almost as easy to implement and again would not require major changes to the code base. Option 3 is fairly straightfoward - you just need to duplicate all the underlining control - but does mean extensive changes to the code base. Personally I think option 3 is the one to go for - the others are not really intuitive to the user. Some other issues: 1) The current overlining code tends to draw outside the character box when rendering on screen. This results in a single pixel height line being left behind when overlined text is moved or deleted. This would need to be fixed. 2) I don't know whether or not the ODF SVG overline attributes can be used for this purpose. They seem to relate to a font face, not a text style. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
