Hi again, Jonathon: Re: Sometimes? I'd suggest that the returns are always inappropriate. -- I was just trying to be polite and accept that I'm possibly more picky than many.
Re: The order of precedence is Writing System, then specific glyphs, with a slight preference for the precomposed glyph, even if you originally did not use a precomposed glyph. FWIW, you need to turn both CJKV & CTL on, regardless of what writing system is being used --- even if writing English. ( "æ", and similar letter constructions require both CTL & CJKV features.) -- Where did you get that order of precedence? I got what I recorded from the man page. Or are you talking about LibreOffice's internal order of precedence. That's why I wanted to confirm that LO ignored its own precedence on Linux systems. If that's the case, it's another path for inconsistencies in documents to appear. Re: IMNSHO, the optimal solution would be to have styles be both language and writing system dependent. -- Well, I sort of agree, but my opinion is that you have to have a good set of formatting primitives (can't think of a better word for this) before you can build styles --- Styles in that view being a way to insure consistent use of an identical grouping of primitives. Re: Character styles fill in the holes that paragraph styles create. Also useful for one or two words in a different language, or the same language, but a different writing system. -- Your use of the term "fill in the holes" suggests to me that we are perhaps in agreement that some refinements need to be made to the underlying approach. I suspect we both want the fonts, characters, and so forth to be "styled" the way we want regardless of how many times we might switch languages or writing systems in the same sentence (unusual, but it happens often enough that it got me riled up enough to begin whining). Re: You can not get away with setting English, Arabic, and Korean in the same style ... etc. -- You're right, you can't RIGHT NOW. But I think we should redesign the interfaces to make that more transparent). We both know it CAN BE DONE although we accomplish it with different hacks - it's just that I think we shouldn't need to go through that. Re: FWIW, you need to turn both CJKV & CTL on, regardless of what writing system is being used --- even if writing English. ( "æ", and similar letter constructions require both CTL & CJKV features.) -- If someone had asked me about digraphs like that I don't think I would have known the answer, so I've learned something at least. It makes sense; I just never used these before.
