------- Additional comments from yaoziy...@openoffice.org Wed May 5 02:23:39 +0000 2010 ------- Unicode combining codepoints (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combining_character) are special Unicode characters that add diacritics other characters. For example, putting the combining codepoint U+0340 after the letter 'a' will show an acute mark above 'a'. Diacritics like the above one must always be drawn in a position relatively higher than the highest point of the original character (e.g. 'a'). For example, because 'A' is taller than 'a', A + U+0340 will produce an acute mark higher than a + U+0340 does. Internet Explorer, Firefox, GTK+ and KDE/Qt programs under Linux are good examples of this behavior, but OpenOffice isn't -- it always draws such combining codepoints at a fixed height (somewhere above 'a' but not above 'A'). A screenshot showing how badly OpenOffice draws A with U+0340: http://imagebin.ca/view/6N3kWN.html A screenshot showing the right drawing (demonstrated by Firefox): http://imagebin.ca/view/FzlicMRQ.html As you can see, Firefox draws the diacritic in a much better position than OpenOffice does. The font used is the free and open source DejaVu Sans, which can be downloaded from: http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/index.php?title=Download I hope OpenOffice can draw and print such combining codepoints in the same way as other programs do.
