One problem I can envisage with including the Unicode input method that John Jason and I have described for Ubuntu as a default in OOo is that it then would interfere with the procedure that is used in the various Windowsversions, i e, Alt + (0 added to) the decimal representation of the glyph. given the fact that the first-named method works on other Ubuntu applications than OOo, I suggest that this is an OS, rather than a applications matter. What, for example, do you get on a notepad in your Dapper distribution, Hagar, if you perform Ctrl + Shift + U, type 2190, and then hit the space bar ? In Feisty, I get ←, just as I do when following the procedure in Gmail, as I have just done....
Henri 2007/5/25, Hagar de l'Est <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I checked my configuration and I think the problem comes from the fact that I install with the official OOo packages (RPMs converted by alien). To have a clean install, I removed my 2.2 version (all packages in Synaptic) then installed the 2.2.1 RC2. I checked in Synaptic what was exactly installed and : - I've openoffice.org-gnome-integration - I don't have openoffice.org-gnome nor openoffice.org-gtk. => The Unicode method input integration may be handled by the Ubuntu packages (I guess it's a distro related feature). I'm reluctant to both upgrade to Feisty and keep the Ubuntu version of OOo. So I'll put up with it. In fact, I quite never use the Unicode input. But I'd like to see it in the default packages of OOo.
