In OpenOffice (and in Word?) you may have

Otherwise than that you'd have to install
smarty-pants (often, pain-in-the-..., too)
keyboard input correctors or resort to
mouse-clicking in the glyph tables.
I am actually planning to update the rest of strings in LibreOffice to

other translators too much for this version, so that would be in 4.5.
So you will still annoy the translators, only more.
Program UI isn't a typography showcase. Why not
leave the pragmatic simplification which serves
