Bug ID: 162972
Summary: Poor positioning/size of 'prime' in Math/Formula
requires messy hack
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Formula Editor
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
As discussed and documented and the following link, the rendering in LO of the
'prime' symbol is very unsatisfactory especially compared to latex.
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-to-type-x-prime-and-subscript/100384/6
This leads to the messy hack of
x^{ font fixed size*1.2{,}}_1
when it should be enough to write
x'_1
or
x^prime_1
I made a workaround by adding %prime to the symbol catalog, and it's a bit
smoother/easier, but then requires a customisation of each LO install on which
the document is being edited.
I think a good solution for the prime symbol is needed as part of the base
installation of LO.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. add a formula x'_1 x^'_2
2. render
Actual Results:
note that x'_1 renders with the subscript 1 too far to the right, while x^'_2
renders with the the prime too far up and too small.
Expected Results:
some standard syntax is needed in LO that gives a properly positioned prime
symbol
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
As noted above, adding the symbol Ux2032 from MathJax Main (specifically this
font -- it has an oversized prime that behaves correctly when used as a
superscript) solves this problem but is nasty because it requires
customisation in order to achieve a commonly needed/standard feature.
