------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Dec 11 04:07:39 -0800 2006 ------- Select a paragraph beginning with an accented vowel: Format > Paragraph > DropCaps > Show DropCap The space allowed for the single drop capital does not necessarily display the accent when italic/ decorative fonts are used. In some cases, it cuts most of it off. Since this is a decorative feature, its performance with decorative fonts is even more important than it normally would be. See the attached file for screenshots of a successful single drop cap (standard font), a very unsuccessful single drop cap (italic/decorative font) and a moderately successful (see issue 39994) whole-word drop cap (italic/decorative font). Since our language (Vietnamese) is almost completely composed of characters with combined diacritics, this bug really prevents us making any effective use of the drop caps feature. Note also the extraneous marks above the drop cap area: these are parts of accents cut off (not covered by the area created) by previous attempts to create drop caps. For some reason, these disconnected marks remain displayed after the drop cap has been undone or replaced! Changing the view (zoom etc.) removes them, but they shouldn't be there in the first place. I can help you test this further with the full range of Vietnamese characters. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
