--- Comment #6 from Justin L <[email protected]> --- This is probably a duplicate of bug 162133. Whatever is done here needs to be compatible with Microsoft Office. The poor look for Roman Numerals does happen using LO's default font (Liberation size 12 font). However, using a different font (Carlito at 11pt – which is basically identical in size to Microsoft Office’s default use of Calibri 11pt), then Roman numbering fits. Ultimately, everything depends on the document content. As soon as you change font or font size, or involve sub-levels, then every assumption made gets thrown out of the window. In the end, it is the end-user's responsibility to design the list's formatting to fit their particular needs. (In reply to jacob from comment #0) > there is the equivalent of a tab worth of white space It is not "an equivalent". It is actually using a real tabstop. That is the way that your list is defined - a number followed by a tabstop. When the list-number ends beyond the "first" tabstop position of 1.27cm, then obviously a "tabstop character" will jump to the the next defined tabstop at 2.5cm - just like what happens everywhere else in a normal paragraph. > This at least looks like a bug, as what happens the rest of the time is for > the text to start a certain number of spaces after the letter, number, etc. This is simply not accurate. The text never starts after "a certain number of spaces". It always starts "at the defined tabstop". You can easily see the tabstop-visual-character when you turn on View - Formatting marks. roman listing.odt: You can prove this by going to Format - Bullets and Numbering. On the "Position" tab you will see "Followed by: Tab stop". You can change this to "Space" if you want, but I doubt you will want the ragged edge that this produces (unless you also change the alignment to "right"). What you probably want to do is change the tabstop and indent to 1.50cm for this particular document's content (or change the "Aligned at" to 1.1cm). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
