------- Additional comments from [email protected] Wed Apr 21 21:54:32 +0000 2010 ------- I use Writer for academic articles in the field of Japanese Studies. They're in German for the most part, except for single words and short phrases in Japanese that are given in the original script for clarity. This kind of language mixing is quite a hassle in OOo: - A 12pt Japanese font has larger characters and much larger (vertical) line spacing than a 12pt Western one, thus each line with Japanese characters in it has more space above and below it than one without. That can be worked around by using a smaller point size for Japanese text. - given "... [Western text] [whitespace and or punctuation] [CJK text] [whitespace and or punctuation] [Western text] ..." OOo will always render everything right up to [CJK text] in the Western font and size (OK), but even if I switch the input method back to German immediately after the last CJK character any whitespace and or punctuation following it will still be rendered in the CJK font and size. Only upon encountering a letter will OOo switch back to the Western preset. So usually the space after a Japanese word is noticeably wider than the one before it and commas and the like just look totally out of place. Right now I work around this by selecting each of the affected areas by hand and overriding size and font via the toolbar but it's an error prone mess, really ... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
