------- Additional comments from dlander...@openoffice.org Mon Aug 9 19:21:12 +0000 2010 ------- Openoffice.org 3.2 claims to include support for PostScript-based OpenType fonts (See http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/features/3.2/#general_font). Whereas, this only partially true as apparently OOo 3.2 Writer supports only Unicode Plane 0: Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) (U+0000 to U+FFFF) (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supplementary_Ideographic_Plane#Supplementary_Ideographic_Plane). For example, the STIX Fonts Version 1.0.0 (see http://www.stixfonts.org/) PostScript-based OpenType fonts includes Unicode Plane 1: Supplementary Multilingual Plane (SMP) Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols (U+1D400 to U+1D7FF). When the STIX fonts are installed, in an OpenOffice.org Writer document, Insert>Special Characters>Font: STIXGeneral shows no characters greater than or equal to U+1D400. I.e. there is no Subset: Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols. Note that blank squares in the Special Characters array corresponding to U+1D400 to U+1D7FF can be selected. The Characters field shows blank characters and, when the Characters are inserted into the document (via the OK button), the characters entered in the document are blank <space>. That the STIXGeneral font includes glyphs for U+1D400 to U+1D7FF is apparent from the STIXv1.0.0\Glyphs\STIXGeneral.otf.pdf file in the STIX Full Download (see http://www.aip.org/stixfonts/font_download.jsp). NOTE: The STIX Documentation (PDF file, see http://www.stixfonts.org/STIXFontReleaseDocumentation2010.pdf) Known Issues predicts this problem: "Currently there is limited support for glyphs/characters in Unicode Plane 1. This lack of support is not a font issue but rather an issue with the rendering software (e.g., browser, word processor, etc.)." --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
