Bug ID: 91029
Summary: Writer: character identification by copying into
dialog
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.2.8.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I want to be able to identify a character that's already in a document. Since
it's stored as one or more bytes, if a user copies a character into a dialog
and specifies the font, it shouldn't be technologically hard to match the
string length and the 0s and 1s and have the dialog report the matching
character.
I don't know if any font still exists in which different fontsizes may offer
different glyphs for the same keyboard input (they existed in bitmapped fonts
in the late 1980s on Macintosh System). If so, the dialog should also ask what
fontsize to judge by. That could be a menu that appears only if the font is of
such a kind, since they're probably rare.
If a newer version of Writer has this, that's good enough. The version I'm
reporting on has still been getting updated even after reputedly being at EOL.
I guessed my hardware.
