[sw-issues] [Issue 46774] msw import problem : no sm all caps
To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=46774 --- Additional comments from stevanwh...@openoffice.org Tue Sep 21 19:58:41 + 2010 --- Regarding implementation: Be advised that many OpenType fonts posess a 'smcp' substitution table that refers to a specially designed set of glyphs for small caps. These glyphs are designed to be of the form of the capital letters, but of the size and weight of the small letters. If such a table exists in a font, those glyphs should be used first to make small caps. There is also a similar table 'c2sc' for converting capitals to small caps. Failing that, small caps should be generated as versions of the capital glyphs, scaled to the height of the small letters (the x height). For this operation, somehow the correspondence between small and capital letters in the script has to be prescribed as well. I think that small caps only makes sense in Latin-based scripts. In Cyrillic particularly, it would be a poor idea, due to the similarity of most of the capital letters to the small ones. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

[gsl-issues] [Issue 78749] some Latin text needs CTL processing
To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=78749 --- Additional comments from stevanwh...@openoffice.org Thu Aug 5 12:33:42 + 2010 --- yaoziyuan, you are right. This has to do with the OO rendering engine. It makes OO look very bad. Since OO is so important to the free software community, it makes the whole community look bad. You mentioned the rendering engines used by KDE4 and Gnome. But also Windows Vista+ and the Mac OS have good support for these features. The effect is, any graphical web browser, and much simpler word processors such as KWord, and even the lowliest text processor on these systems renders mark placement fairly well (never mind MS Word). But not OpenOffice. OpenOffice Writer is primarily about text display of high quality. Without that, all the fancy bells and whistles are for the garbage. Anything else you can do with it, could be done better with some other tool. Crucial features that still seem to be absent in OO 'ccmp' ligature composition (as opposed to the ccmp decomposition table) 'mark' 'mkmk' certainly there are others. Scripts that would use these features (and may be illegible without them) include: Hebrew, Arabic, Thai, Vietnamese, but there are many more. I don't know if OO supports 'abvm' and 'blwm', but these are used a lot with Indic scripts, as well as Tibetan. But mark positioning is used for fine placement in general for languages that use marks. And that includes the *majority* of European languages. It makes the difference between text being very ugly, and looking great. See for example: http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/opentype/index_table_formats2.html This issue makes the product look stupid and useless for a large fraction of potential users in the world, yet since this report was opened in 2007, it has been marked priority P3 Of interest, but not planned or expected in this release (and many related reports preceded it.) Colleagues, let's get our priorities straight. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

[sw-issues] [Issue 9352] Styles Catalog doesn't show all paragraph styles when first opened

Of course, the dialogs involved are rather different than they were before, but when I followed as best I could the directions given, new styles did not disappear as before. The listings seem more logical now. Thank you for your efforts! - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Click on a column label to select it. Pull down Copy from the Edit menu Bring up a text editor, and Paste into it, then Save As filename. Now in a terminal, wc -l filename It will count 65536 lines. This number 65536 is arbitrary and pointless, and the large number of new lines cause problems in other applications. Better behaviour in this situation would be to determine the last row for which there is data in the spreadsheet, and copy the cells only through to that row.

[graphics-issues] [Issue 92475] Embedded movies do not pla y and loop correctly

This is basically the distro setup--I have hardly used OO Impress before this. Starting from the reporter's examples, I can play the movies--once. They do not loop, although the Repeat button appears to be enabled. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

[sw-issues] [Issue 9359] Insert Special Character di alog needs re-think
To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=9359 --- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Apr 23 07:23:51 + 2007 --- Some of you have raised good points. Let's look at it from a user's perspective. The user wants to insert a character into their document; the dialog is meant to facilitate that activity. They don't know squat about Unicode. If the character isn't represented at all in the dialog (for a given font), how are they to find it? Should they search all the tables, for each available font, for their character? It would seem that all Unicode characters should be there, arranged in a way that is easy for a layperson to navigate. (I don't think the Unicode range names are particularly obvious--they are a historical artifact. And what's with those tiny pop-down menus?) On the other hand, if all unicode characters are presented, but the character the user wants is not available in the current font, how is the situation to be conveyed to the user, and what is the user to do about it? I can imagine ways: For example, when the box for the character is right-clicked, a dialog could open showing that character in all the fonts that support it. If it's clicked and the character is supported by the current font, that character is immediately inserted. Another note: this dialog is unfortunately very familiar. I think somebody peeked at somebody else's (poor) solution. Ingenuity should be brought to bear. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
