Character Style editing panel, Font & Organizer tabs
Hi. I have an issue in creating character styles with a certain body size, with
a particular body size with decimal values.
I am trying to set it as 10.4 pt, and indeed it looks like it in the “Font” tab
from the Character Style editing modal window, but when changing to the main,
“Organizer” tab, the font body size appears as being 10.35 pt.
I can reproduce this effect with body sizes 10.2 pt (it's converted to 10.15
pt), 10.7 pt (it's converted to 10.65 pt), 10.9 pt (it's converted to 10.85
pt), and so on… Basically, 0.05 pt are being subtracted from any and all
decimal values of 0.2, 0.4, 0.7 and 0.9 pt.
However, on the Paragraph Style modal window, I can set up whatever decimal
values for font body size I wish, and they won't be messed with.
This is a problem, as I wish to set a size of 10.4 pt for my default body text
paragraph style and be able to set specific character styles inside those
paragraphs (such as small caps, emphasis, etc.), and with this bug I'll be
getting text that is smaller than it should (it's subtle, but as a typography
major and future PhD candidate, it is a big and unacceptable issue).
Also, I've tried changing LibreOffice Writer's default measurement units to
other settings, such as points, to no avail. Those values are still messed
with.
Do you have any suggestions on how to coerce LOo Writer to respect those values
(maybe by saving those styles into a template/model, and editing that file
outside of LOo Writer in a text editor)? I've tried everything, including
selecting text with the desired font body size and updating the target style by
selecting “Update Selected Style” from the Styles panel drop-down menu, also to
no avail.
I tried restarting the application, and had changed the UI into English (USA),
in order to better write this bug report, and I seem to at least be able to
create new styles from selections that seem to respect my choice of font body
size. I shall then recreate or edit all styles from scratch (my trick was to
recreate the default one, and make all built-in styles inherit its properties),
but that doesn't make this any less of a bothersome bug.
