To repeat, I am using OOo 3.01 on Ubuntu Intrepid, installed from
Synaptic after adding the OOo repositories.
I am still struggling with getting brackets to appear and print
correctly. I have succeeded in getting most formulas to look good in
print, but some of the formulas, with identical syntax, print
differently. And the screen view is hopelessly wrong for all the
formulas.
First, the good news. I figured out what was wrong with the "font"
parameter. Brian said "where the font-types are 'serif, sans', or
'fixed'" - but it didn't work for me at all until I stumbled on the
secret. The "serif" and "sans" and "fixed" must be capped - "Serif,"
and "Sans and "Fixed." Duh! But in fairness to Brian, lowercase is what
the Help file says too.
With the Serif font set to Junicode and the Sans font set to Arial,
this formula looks wrong on screen, but prints correctly:
font Sans bold left [ font Serif nbold { alignl stack { +CORONAL #
+anterior # ‑continuant # +delayed release` # +strident # ‑voice } }
right ]
On screen the text in the stack appears correct, but the brackets are
three or four times as bold as they should be. The more items in the
stack the bolder the brackets on screen. However, the brackets print
just "bold," so I can live with the screen view.
However, the following formula prints with a super-super-bold right
bracket:
font Sans bold left [ font Serif nbold { alignl stack { +DORSAL #
‑CORONAL # +approximant` # +lateral } } right ]
I have a dozen (out of a hundred) formulas that print with the right
bracket three or four times as bold as it should be. I have poked
through all the settings for all the formulas and I cannot find any
difference in the syntax or other settings between the 90% that print
correctly and the 10% that do not.
It's always the right bracket that prints too bold. And the formulas
where the right bracket prints too bold include formulas with two items
in the stack through five items in the stack.
All the formulas are cells in a two-cell table, and the table is in a
column in a frame. If I take one of the offending formulas and put it
alone on a blank page it prints fine. If I take the whole table out of
the frame and put it on a blank page the formula still prints fine. The
right bracket prints bold-bold-bold-bold only when the formula is in a
table column in a frame.
Unfortunately, the layout requires a frame. There is no other way to do
the layout.
I'm pretty sure I've got a bug here, but before I file a bug report it
would be really good if others could reproduce the problem. Because if
you can't reproduce it, then maybe there is something wrong here.
