Bug ID: 110003
Summary: Choice of replacement of ß when capitalized between SS
and ẞ
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.4.0.3 rc
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
There are, since June 29. 2017 new rules in german orthography, where it is
allowed now, that when a word with ß is capitalizes, the capital letter ẞ can
be used, instead of the still possible replacement with SS.
This is a great advantage, when names, containing the letter ß are written in
capital letters.
But until now, I only cab choose from "Format - Text" the change to
"GROSSBUCHSTABEN" and get SS from ß.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write anything with the letter ß
2. go to "Format" - "Text" and click on "GROSSBUCHSTABEN"
3. the letter ß will be replaced by SS
Actual Results:
I only have the choice to set the change from ß to SS when capitalize or set to
small caps which also is missing there, and have to replace it by hand to ẞ
when I want to use that letter instead
Expected Results:
I would suggest, to give a second choice:
"GROSSBUCHSTABEN"
and
"GROẞBUCHSTABEN"
to choose from, or in language setting the choice between SS and capital ß, so
that in the menu will be displayed GROSSBUCHSTABEN or GROẞBUCHSTABEN, whatever
is set in the language-settings, maybe with a SS fallback, if ẞ doesn't exist
in the font.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
I also wanted to have the choice to switch to small caps, also with the choice
of replacing ß by SS or capital ß in the same menu.
