[libreoffice-users] In Writer, how can I type characters from the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet)?
I'm using LibreOffice 3.3.3 on Linux (Trisquel 5.0). In Writer, how can I type characters from the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet)? Thank you.

Thomas, Have you heard of the Linux distribution called Trisquel? I use it.

It is derived from Ubuntu, but includes only free software http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html.

If you wish, you can use the code in LibreOffice. If you have any comments or questions, email me. Winston Possibly it is good that you see the results first. Then, if you are interested, then you can read about how to generate the results. On a command line, you will type the following: python3.2 find_nonshared_words.py (You can also type python2.7 instead of python3.2. But realize that Python 3.2 is not always backwards-compatible with Python 2.7.) This command will generate the following output file: output_file.txt: a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6 b1 b2 b3 b4 Below, I show you how to create the results: Create the following two input files. (Words starting with a appear in only file 1. Words starting with b appear in only file 2. Words starting with c appear in both files, and should be ignored by the code.) input_file1.txt: a1 a2 c1 a3 a4 c2 a5 c3 a6 input_file2.txt: c1 b1 b2 b3 c2 c3 b4 Then create a file called find_nonshared_words.py: def create_set_from_file(input_file_name): input_file = open(input_file_name) s = set() for line in input_file: # Delete any leading or trailing whitespace. s.add(line.strip()) input_file.close() return s set1 = create_set_from_file(input_file1.txt) set2 = create_set_from_file(input_file2.txt) set_of_words_in_exactly_one_file = set1.symmetric_difference(set2) output_file_name = output_file.txt output_file = open(output_file_name, w+) for word in sorted(set_of_words_in_exactly_one_file): output_file.write(word + \n) output_file.close() -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
