Bug ID: 103508
Summary: Underline, Strikethrough, and Overline sizes and
position are permanently fixed and cannot be adjusted
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.2.0.4 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
The thickness and positions of Underline, Strikethrough and Overline are
arbitrarily set according to the typeface font being used and cannot be
adjusted by you, the end user of LibreOffice.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type any text you are familiar with, e.g. "The quick brown fox jumps over
the lazy dog," etc., and use the Edit > Copy/Paste to repeat the text multiple
times, all while making everything is the same size (e.g. 14-point size).
2. Select each line individually, then assign a different typeface font to each
line, so that every line is of a different font.
3. Next, select "All" (Ctrl-A or Edit--> Select All) then select Format-->
Character. In the dialog that shows up, select the Font Effects tab, then
select the various Overline, Strikethrough and Underline features (especially
the Wave and Double Wave features of Overline and Underline).
Actual Results:
The thickness and position of Overline, Strikethrough and Underline is
arbitrary according to the parameters set forth by the typeface font used, and
the Wave sizes of the Wave and Double Wave features are big with one font and
small with another font.
Expected Results:
Overline, Strikethrough and Underline size and position should be uniform
across all fonts being used. This usually cannot be done automatically, so end
users of LibreOffice need to have a new option to adjust these parameters
manually.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Ideally, in the Format-->Character command, LibreOffice users should have a new
option to manually adjust the size, thickness and exact position of each
Overline, Strikethrough and Underline on their own terms rather than those set
forth by the individual fonts' designers.
For high school & college students, job applicants and top management of any
company, professional reporters, etc, the ability to adjust underline,
strikethrough and overline thickness and position manually can be a real
necessity for anyone to mantifest professional penmanship. Excellent grammar is
not enough!
