Sooraj Kenoth <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED Resolution|NOTOURBUG |--- --- Comment #7 from Sooraj Kenoth <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Jay Philips from comment #6) Sorry for the late reply. I was trying to solve this issue from the font developer side. According their arguments, underlining is not a part of glyph. They are simple lines. The designers usually set only guide line or notional markings to define the position and width of underline. The actual decision has to be taken by the document processor or the application which uses the font. I agree with these arguments. Because the shape, size and position of underline is defined by the document and not by the font. > The position and size of an underline depend on the settings in the font > which mention where the underline must go as well as how thick it should be, > so yes the zigzag would be a normally thing if you have the same font but > with different font sizes and font formatting (bold, italics, etc). This what I am trying communicate. According to my current knowledge level this is a bug. > If you find that libreoffice's font behavior is different from other word > processor on linux (calligra words, abiword, etc) or different between > libreoffice versions, we would be able to investigate that issue. I didn't check it with other word processors. But I found this as a very common but a serious issue. Also I think libreoffice is much more than a simple word processor. I am from Kerala, India. In our context multilingual document is fairly common. Almost all local language document will contain at least one more language generally it is English, especially while writing abbreviations or technical terms. Some older posts on same issue, <https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=31726> <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68573> <https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=89284> For the time being I found a work around for this. But is not a solution. In Libreoffice4.2 there is a feature called character border in character settings. There I can create a border only at bottom position, then it will look like an underline, with adjustable position and size. I just created two styles, one with border at bottom and other without any border. Also set two short-cuts to apply these styles. But this has lot of limitations. I wish the libreoffice team will take forward this issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
