I am using OOo on Feisty amd64. From the Help > About it is version "2.2.0-1Ubuntu5 Wed Oct 3 23:57:03 UTC 2007."
I am a student of linguistics and my favorite font is Junicode. It has always worked flawlessly except for the n-dash in italic. As a workaround, I just change the n-dash to regular, because an n-dash is an n-dash regarless. Everything else has always been perfect. The other day Update Manager announced an update for OOo. I installed it, and ever since I am having a lot of trouble with incorrect characters. Today, specifically, typing Unicode E4 (lowercase umlauted a) in italic gets me a 0/00 character. If I change the character to regular it appears correctly. At first I thought the problem must be in the font. I used to use Junicode version 0.6.11, but Ubuntu shows the current version in the repositories as 0.6.12. I upgraded it, but it made no difference. On sourceforge I found that the latest version is actually 0.6.15, so I installed that one instead, but still no joy. I tried all the usual tricks as well - restarting the computer, etc. For my most recent effort I launched Abiword, inserted a lowercase umlauted a, and set it to italic. It appeared perfectly correctly. I also tried Kword, and it appeared correctly there as well. Therefore, the problem lies somewhere in OOo, specifically the latest update from the Ubuntu repositories. Can anyone verify this problem? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
