IF I understand you right.. then yes. Compare the comment from hdu Tue Nov 16 to issue 37073 I think "OOo doesn't yet request OpenType services for Latin script" matches your statement, but since I'm not into this kind of stuff this might be two seperate things. > Any ideas where I can look to see where > the layout is actually done for latin ?

IIRC there are differences in rendering the text at least in impress vs the other ones, but I'm not sure whether this is still true.

But after I read your mail I tried with other fonts and there are fonts where the two items appear as two different characters, so there may be some kind of kerning involved. I don't have a clue about font-technology and how this is handled in OOo... ciao Christian -- NP: Meshuggah - Acrid Placidity --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
