--- Comment #14 from Jim Brase <jim_br...@sil.org> ---
FYI: My system has upgraded to LO 5.2.2.2. The comments below are based on that
version.
Re #13: I first had to go to Tools/Options/Language Settings/Languages, and
check the box for "Complex text layout(CTL)". (Until I did that, the CTL font
didn't show up in the style definition dialogue.) I then had to select a
language, Lao being the closest to what I'm working with. I tried both Lao and
"None".
I then was able to edit the default style, selecting Tai Heritage Pro as my CTL
font. After that, I was able to enter Tai text using the Tai Heritage Pro font,
and it displayed correctly--until I tried to switch to a different CTL font.
For example, I tried using a font called TaiViet, but LO insisted on entering
and displaying the text using Tai Heritage Pro. Likewise when I tried entering
Cham text using the Cham East BinhThuan font. I had to first type the text,
then select it and apply the font. That's hard to do when all you see are
square boxes while you are typing. After that, I couldn't get back to Tai
Heritage Pro without again typing the text first, then selecting the text and
applying the font.
When I select a Roman font, the change is made smoothly. Why does LO have to be
so cranky about changing a CTL font?
