Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 118232
superscript: misaligned when you have "emphasis dot above"
Last modified: 2022-07-04 16:32:17 UTC
Version: 3.3 (latest official release) Operating System: Windows XP (SP3) Language of OO and OS: Chinese (complex, also known as traditional) 1. Select Times New Roman. 2. Type several letters or numbers. 3. Set all: Format > Character > Superscript (default size). 4. Set some: Format > Character > Emphasis > Dot > Above. PROBLEM: Those with a dot above is misaligned with those without. CAUSE: The "character with dot above" does not have the same height as a plain character. As superscript, the superscripted character with a dot above, seems to be aligned (topwise) with "nonsuperscripted characters with dot above", instead of with "superscripted characters without dot above". Thanks.
Please also check for other emphasis styles. Thanks.
Please check whether this is related to this one, about superscript and subscript positions: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=19194 Thanks.
As a workaround, whenever I have "emphasis dot above" in a superscript, I set the position (offset) to manual 26%, instead of the default 33%.
getting rid of value "enhancement" for field "severity". For enhancement the field "issue type" shall be used.
Assuming step 4 means Format - Character... - Font Effects - Overlining=Dotted, no misalignment is observed. Rev. 1513819 Win 7
Please re-open this bug. You are looking at the wrong control. It is not "overline > dotted". It is a control somewhat below that. It should be called something like "accent" or "emphasis" or "highlight", and its value is "dot" and position is "above", and produce a dot over each letter. Selecting "below" does not have this alignment problem. Other options are "small circle", "big dot", etc. It seems that the superscript character is aligned topwise, which it should not. It should be aligned at a baseline, just as non-superscripted characters are. With Times New Roman and Chinese MingLiU （細明體）, my workaround is to set it at an offset of 26% instead of default 33%. With Japanese MS Mincho, my workaround is to set it at 32% instead of 33%. Also compare with: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=19194 Thanks.
Reopen per request in comment 6.
Confirmed with version 4.1.12 on Windows. Misalignment occurs in both superscripts and subscripts. NOTE: The emphasis mark is available with support for Asian languages enabled - the check box labeled "Show UI Element for East Asian writing" ("Enabled for Asian Languages" in version 3.3.0) in 'Tools - Options - Language Settings - Languages'.
