[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 52225] Greek symbols have switched back to non-italic
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52225 V Stuart Foote changed: What|Removed |Added CC||vstuart.fo...@utsa.edu --- Comment #6 from V Stuart Foote --- OpenSymbol font metric issues aside (confirming the node shift as in example when other font sets the basline)--there is a legitimate issue in the quality of formulas produced when the discipline norm is for the Greek symbols to be set in italic. I don't think though that making Greek symbols default to italic is the right solution. In fact it looks like OOo issue 113277 was left unfinished business of the work done for OOo issue 113276 that removed default italic. Some users prefer alternative, and the workaround of setting StandardFormat "GreekCharStyle" property was provided. O is default and uses non-italic OpenSymbol, 1 can be set and will use the iGreek. The workaround remains intact, but must be accessed through Tools -> Options -> Advanced: Expert Configuration -- search for GreekCharStyle, the stanza will then be written per user into their registrymodifications.xcu configuration. And once created, it can be toggled with text editor there. Additional enhancement is needed to support common use of mixed capital Greek symbols are straight, and lowers are italic. =-ref-= https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=cdce29a326c834a269b33dff27e74ed34c82c7df https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=113276 https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=113277 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Confirmed that if the 2 is taken away, alpha hits its head to the line.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52225 --- Comment #3 from QA Administrators --- ** Please read this message in its entirety before responding ** To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: *Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.4.1 or later) https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ *If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior *If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System Please DO NOT *Update the version field *Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) *Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo"; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa Thank you for your help! -- The LibreOffice QA Team This NEW Message was generated on: 2015-04-01 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 52225] Greek symbols have switched back to non-italic
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52225 --- Comment #2 from j...@curioussymbols.com --- The non-italic style appears to have been introduced as a result of a misguided poll of users (in my view), in bug 113276. This breaks with good typographical practices (you will never see a professional textbook rendered with non-italic greek letters) and broke the rendering of pre-existing documents. And it broke the rendering of pre-existing documents, without providing anything other than a very onerous manual workaround. And, the Symbol Catalog asks you to specify the font style for a symbol (italic, normal, bold italic, bold) but then in the case of greek letters it GOES AHEAD AND IGNORES YOU! The situation is made worse by the fact that the Symbol Catalog is hard-wired to a terrible font, OpenSymbol that lacks font metric information, as mentioned in bug 48965 (see the attached image there). There is no easy way to change the font of all greek letters en-masse, short of laboriously changing each one manually (and the GUI is very buggy for this -- just try to change the %alpha from OpenSymbol to Liberation Sans and you will see what I mean). LO needs * a document-level preference/switch to allow the greek letter rendering to be selectable, * a way to change the font used for rendering greek symbols, for more consistent and high-quality publications. * a way to reapply font preferences to all formulae in a document, via the GUI. * italic/not italic should not be part of the symbol catalog. it should be part of the formula styling set-up, and manually-forceable for those who need it via "ital %alpha" and "nital %alpha". * a thorough overhaul of the symbol catalog GUI, which is very unintuitive to use (and how can I copy my symbol catalog from one computer to another, assuming I *do* manage to get it into a form that works for me?) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

The baseline problem seems to be similar to bug 48965:
1 over {2 %alpha} + 1 over a
is rendered correctly wrt the baseline (due to the added 2)
