Chris Torrence <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #6 from Chris Torrence <[email protected]> --- I can reproduce a similar "em dash" bug using OpenOffice 4.1.1 on Mac OS X (Yosemite). I'm using a font called Minion Pro. The problem occurs with "Export as PDF", but does not occur with Print (to PDF). If I use an em dash first in my document, then any en dashes that occur later in the document get converted to em dashes and actually overlap the following character. In other words, the space between characters is still an en dash. Conversely, if I use an en dash first, then any em dashes get converted to en dashes. Again, the spacing is still "correct" for an em dash, which means there is a big gap. The problem does *not* occur for Times New Roman or Palatino. For those fonts, Export as PDF gives the correct dashes. I have not tried other fonts. Two workarounds: (1) use Print (to PDF). The problem is that you don't end up with a PDF/A-1a compliant document and you can't export the chapter bookmarks. Or (2) replace all en dashes with "minus" signs (U2212). This works but is obviously not ideal since it's so much easier to enter en dashes using option+hyphen. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
