I would like to be able to input unicode characters by number in libreoffice writer, e.g. 007A for latin small letter z (just an example - I only want to do it for uncommon glyphs that might not be in your fonts).
I keep finding references, for binary distros, to using the libreoffice-gtk package. Looking at debian, this appears to contain the gtk and/or gtk3 plugins. I've now enabled gtk3, and I have the following plugins: ken@ac4tv ~ $ls -1 /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libvcl* /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libvcllo.so /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_genlo.so /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_gtk3lo.so /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_gtklo.so /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_svplo.so so I've got both sorts of gtk. The usage instructions generally say: hold down Ctrl and Shift, type u, type the 4 hex digits, type a space to signal that the input is complete. Presumably you only really need to type the non-leading-zero digits. One of the old instructions noted that the u shows an input field. This doesn't work for me, and trying it I just get a narrow grey block - whichever hex digits I try. So, I assume that either I need to change my configure options, or else I need to set something to activate this [ this is 4.0.2.2 ] Anyone got this working, please ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
