Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 113564
Spacing after Greek symbols is even larger in new version
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:55:42 UTC
I notice that OOO330_m2 has changed the spacing after Greek symbols: it is now larger than before. The same formula, created in an earlier OOo version, will have its spacing altered if it is edited in the new version. See the attached document to demonstrate the problem. The problem does not seem to come from the updated OpenSymbol font; samples using that font don't show any extra space. I suppose it hardly matters, since the space after the symbols was already too big--making it a bit larger hardly makes it any worse. I just thought it was odd that the spacing should change like this.

I'm running "OOo-dev 3.3 330m2(Build:9516)" on Fedora Linux 13.
I can not confirm this with DEV300_m83 or OOO330_m2 and Windows. See attached images. TL->MRU: Can you please check if this is OS or distribution specific? Thanks!

tl->ih: Can you comment on this? Did anything change in this respect regrading the greek symbols at the new correct code points compared to the old ones from the private use area? tl->jes: Note that in OOo 3.3 the code point in use for %delta does NOT come anymore from the private use area. It is now uses the correct code point which is 0x03B4. Also please take note of issue 113586. Maybe you problems are because of somewhere on your system the old OpenSymbol can still be found and gets used with OOO330. Even though I would not have expected the kind of problem you do experience.

MRU->TL: I can confirm on ububntu64. It looks, that this only happens on 64bit Linux. Windows and SUSE 32bit did not show the problem. However, on 64bit Linux the spacing became less compared to OOo 3.2.1.

Thanks--you are exactly right. Sorry I didn't think of this :O Instead of the new OpenSymbol, my tests were actually using the system-wide font, installed by Fedora's package of OOo 3.2. If I repeat the tests where I know 330m2 uses the new font file, then I get normal results, in fact the spacing I see is now less than before, as mru noted above. I'm running 32-bit X86. This can be closed as far as I'm concerned; it seems to be a font version/selection issue, which is already covered by Issue 113586.
