Hi Graham: Yes - I too always download from the website as Ubuntu's repository usually contains older, supposedly more stable versions of software. In the case of LibreOffice, I chose to use a more recent build (4.3 branch) as it has fixes for a couple bugs that directly affect my work). I use the 64 bit version, though, so there may be some difference there.
As for the hyphen, my belief (based on using publishing and word processing software for more than thirty years) is that the hyphen itself should be acquired from the particular font in use, and it should look and act as if you had typed it manually, using the same exact spacing. If the text is "ragged right" i.e. unjustified, you should not see any difference between a hyphen you typed yourself and an automatic hyphenation. If the text is right justified, the hyphen's spacing should be "stretched out" along with all the other characters in the line to make it reach the right margin, but ignoring/removing the character's own right-hand spacing for the last character (in this case, the hyphen). And I agree with you that one would expect no additional spacing between the last "real" character and the hyphen. It's interesting to me that you have extraneous spacing BEFORE the hyphen while, in my case, the hyphen overlays the final non-hyphen character (which now that I look more closely, seems like it has not had its right edge spacing removed, giving the appearance that it is only overlapping the right half of the final character.) In my case, the actual printed output is fine, as is the output in any pdf export I make from LibreOffice Writer, so the problem would seem to be related only to the display. You seem to be suggesting that your additional spacing is on the printed output. Is that the case? If so, does it match the Print Preview display? TomD made a comment that this behavior has been fixed in a "newer branch," but I haven't figured out what that means. So I guess I'm just stuck with WYSIAWYG instead of WHYSIWYG for a while (the "A" is for "almost"). Have a great weekend... -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Hyphen-Printing-Problem-in-Writer-tp4116929p4117556.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] 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
