------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Mar 1 10:30:59 +0000 2008 ------- Steps to reproduce: 1)Type some text (default style, English UK language) 2)Insert --> Footnote... 3)Select “Character” and type “*” (asterisk) in the text field. 4)Select Ok. Problem: The footnote mark (asterisk) is too small compared to what I see in Word, and what I expect based on the typographical convention (see attached screen shot). Possible Explanation: The numbered footnotes are marked with a number with superscript character style (named “Footnote anchor”), as it is expected. If I select asterisk as a footnote numbering, the asterisk from “Times New Roman” font is _already in superscript_. When OpenOffice.org Writer puts it in superscript, it appears in “double superscript”, thus extremely small and extremely upper position from the baseline. Suggested solution: Hard-code some Unicode characters which are already superscripted (e.g.: the asterisk, those Unicode characters which contain the “SUPERSCRIPT” tag in the description, eg. “º” and “ª”), and exclude them from the superscript style, when applying the “Footnote Anchor” character style. Notes: OS: Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy) 2.6.22-14-386 i686 GNU/Linux, X.Org 7.2.
