Not reproducible here. The positioning is not perfect, but far from being two seperate characters. (combining l with u+324 to procuce l̤ works fine, except that the diaresis is not centered below the l but too much on the left (same with macron (U+331) below). The character named macron cuts the vertical part of the "l", not sure whether this is correct or not, but surely it doesn't look like two different characters (it looks more like a t than a l with a bar above) > How does Openoffice do the shaping of latin with diacritical marks ?

I think your problem is handled in issue 37073 http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=37073 ciao Christian -- NP: Slipknot - New Abortion --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
