I'd appreciate that. We're working on a website where we push OOo and Junicode for linguists: http://ipa4linguists.pbwiki.com/ I started this project right after Christmas and there are four of us working on the site. What a pain in the ass it is. If all linguists would just use Linux, OOo and Firefox it would be easy. We're now to the point where we're going to "go public" on Monday morning. That means announcing it in various linguistics e-lists and blogs. But here I am at the last minute with a font issue. I should add that the 6.13 version (and all previous versions that I have been using for a couple years) has always had a problem with the en-dash in the italic font. Apparently there is no such character in the italic, so when I use an en-dash and then change the text to italic I get an empty box. But I note that the 6.15 version still does this. I looked at Peter's notes on Sourceforge and didn't see any mention of this specific problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
