We removed the option described in issue 107083 because it should be handled by
the replacement table.

Please add following replacement to the autocorr replacement table:
1/4 -> char 00BC (188)
1/2 -> char 00BD (189)
3/4 -> char 00BE (190)



---------
Note for anybody reading this and wanting more... ;) :

The "fraction" replacement function has once been implemented while the product
was not supporting Unicode. So only the 3 basic fraction characters are 
supported.

Now Unicode offers more fraction characters (see 2153-215E).
We decided to NOT implement replacements for those characters in the future
(=WONTFIX).
Why?
- We believe the use of such extended characters is pretty marginal (Ex: "5/8")
- Due to performance reasons, we avoid adding more and more entries in the
replacement table
- As those charcters are not available in a majority of the fonts, this would
lead to unwanted problems:
-> user types "5/8" and gets "?" because the current font doesn't support
Unicode. He doesn't know why it happened and where to correct this.
