Roman Eisele <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEEDINFO Ever Confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #4 from Roman Eisele <[email protected]> 2012-06-28 03:53:52 PDT --- To handle the original problem with the display of the special Turkish characters Ğ ğ Ş ş first, some testing gives me the impression that this is a font/encoding problem. The sample file uses the font face "Arial" in the cells. If I remember correctly, Microsoft distributed (at least with Mac software like MS Office for Mac and Internet Explorer / Mac) for a long time rather old versions of their core fonts, including Arial. These old versions, e.g. Arial version 1.02, from "MS Master Set v1.00", with a © date of 1990-1992, but built in 1998 (!), just contains the default MacOS Roman character and the ISO Latin one / Windows Latin 1 character set, including Öö Çç Iı and Üü (which are OK according to the sample file), but NOT the characters Ğ ğ Ş ş. Therefore, if I install this old version of Arial on my machine, the sample file looks like described in the original report: in the cells, all occurences of Ğ ğ Ş ş do "not display correctly. In the cells the style looks generic and is out of proportion to the other non-Turkish characters." That's it. If I install a newer version of Arial, e.g. version 5.01.2x, © date 2006, which includes Ğ ğ Ş ş together with many other special characters, the sample file looks much better: the characters Ğ ğ Ş ş fit well with their context. I will attach a screenshot showing this. The same is true if I select all cells and set the font face to any font containing these extended characters, e.g. Apple's "Lucida Grande", Adobe's "Minion Pro" or "Myriad Pro", or most other technically modern font faces. This does also explain why the same characters "where displaying correctly in the editing area": the editing area does NOT use the font which is used for the cells, but always a system font (on MacOS X, IMHO "Lucida Grande") which does contain these special characters. (I will test and report about the other issue, mentioned for the first time in comment #2, separately.) @ [email protected]: Please try if this explanation is sufficient and helps to fix the problem for you. Just try setting the font of all cells to a font which contains glyphs for the characters Ğ ğ Ş ş, e.g. "Lucida Grande"; then the special characters should display correctly. You can inspect your fonts if they contain these characters if you select "Insert" > "Special Character ..." from the LibreOffice Menu bar and scroll down the characters list in the dialog window "Special Characters". You can change the font face at the top left of that dialog window. If my explanation is right, you should see a rather short list of characters if you select "Arial" as font face, not including Ğ ğ Ş ş etc. Another way to fix the problem would be to install a newer version of Arial; however, I don't know how to get that (copyrighted) Microsoft font legally now. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
