eponymousalias <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] | |rg --- Comment #23 from eponymousalias <[email protected]> 2011-07-22 06:04:42 --- More than 9 years after being reported, this issue is still with us in OO 3.3.0. In fact, it's even worse. My document is formatted in 11pt (as I have set the "Text body" paragraph style, and use that style for the body of my document). Now I set up a Source Text character style, and set the font size (say) to 75%, so the x-height of my chosen monospaced font lines up with my ordinary text font, according to externally-measured x-height information. Trouble is, when I'm in an 11pt "Text body" paragraph and apply the Source Text character style to a word, I end up with a 9pt word, not a 75%*11pt word. Also, if I have, say, a Quote paragraph style that I set to 9pt, then if I apply the Source Text character style to a word in a Quote paragraph, that word ends up still at 9pt, *not* at 75%*9pt. My conclusion is that percent-font-size application in a character style is relative to some absolute font size whose origin can be neither identified nor changed, *not* relative to the context in which the text being char-styled is located. This is in direct contradiction to the documentation (OpenOffice.org 3.3 Writer Guide, Chapter 7, page 218, "Creating a new character style"). The situation above is illustrative of many other contexts where it would be useful to specify a relative font size in a character style, sometimes 100% and sometimes not. I can't tell you how infuriating it is to get a significant amount of a work entered into a tool like this and then to find out that the most basic stuff is broken and simply cannot be made to work, especially when the documentation you relied on when choosing the tool clearly said otherwise. -- Configure bugmail: http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Bugzilla.
