--- Comment #3 from Jonathan Clark <jonat...@libreoffice.org> --- At time of writing, only paragraph first line, before-, and after-text indentation can be specified in font-relative units. The units supported are 'em' (which is applicable to all languages) and 'ic' (from CSS, defined as the width of U+6C34 '水' in the current font). Word 'Ch' and LO 'ic' are exclusively intended for CJK typesetting. Other users should be guided to use LO 'em'. (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #1) > AFAIK, you get ch units only if CJK is enabled and is the default in this > case. I see no need to make this more obvious for anyone. Jonathan, what do > you think? I think we need to take a UX mulligan on Ch. Everything about it seems to be broken at the moment. e.g.: CJK enabled doesn't make Ch a default unit. There's a checkbox in the UI that says "Enable char unit", but it doesn't seem to do anything. The only way to get Ch units in the UI as far as I can tell is by setting Ch as a default measure, but this makes Ch show up in a lot of nonsense places, too. It looks like the GUI was originally programmed to ape what Microsoft Word does with the Japanese language pack, but it's dead code, and much of the breakage seems intentional because it was generating user confusion. At this point, it's probably best to assume we have no support for this stuff and decide how a greenfield UX should work. While discussing, we should keep in mind that 'ic' and 'em' will most often be mixed with e.g. cm within the same document. We should also try to find a way to reconcile the fact that CJK users are accustomed to Ch/chars, with how confusing that name is to non-CJK users. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
