Maybe someone on this list knows the answer/solution?
Here is the problem to solve: in a writer file it should become possible to set
sections of a text
to a monotype font, where the font size should be 90% of the current font-size
(e.g. "Paragraph
Style: Default" or "Paragraph Style: Footnote". The reason for reducing the
font size relative to
the Paragraph Style's defined font-size is, that monotyped words tend to be
wider than serif fonts;
by reducing the current size by 10% such monotyped text looks nice again.
To solve the problem I created a "Character Style" named "xyz" and defined it
to be:
* Organizier: name=xyz, Linked with=- None -, Category: Custom Styles
* Font: Western text font: Font=DejaVu Sans Mono, Typeface=Book, Size=90%,
Language=German (Austria)
* Background: Yellow 2
After saving the changes to this "Character Style" and studying the
definition in the
"Organizer" tab of the "xyz" character style gives: Normal position +
DejaVu Sans Mono + 90% +
RGB(255,255,153),Not Transparent + RGB(255,255,153),Not Transparent
Assigning this "Character Style" to text in a "Paragraph Style: Default", works
as expected; the
Default's Font size of 12pt, causes the "xyz" character styled text to be set
to a font size of 10,8
(correct: 12*0.9 -> 10.8).
However if assigning the "xyz" character style to text in a "Paragraph Style:
Footnote" also yields
a size of 10.8pt as above:
the Footnote paragraph style defines the font size to be 10pt, hence
expecting the character
styled text to be of size 9pt. However the "xyz" font-size is 10.8pt,
making the "xyz" character
styled text larger, not smaller than the surrounding text!
Is this an expected behaviour?
If so, is it possible to define character styles somehow to cause its text to
be always 90% of the
font size of the current paragraph style? How?
TIA,
