------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri Nov 20 13:27:04 +0000 2009 ------- 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
