Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 91143
Greek Character Numbering style in "Bullets and Numbering"
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:45:27 UTC
It would be nice if it was possible to use Greek Characters in the Numbering styles of "Bullets and Numbering". (Please consider consulting a native Greek speaker for the order of the characters which is to be used for such a numbering style.)

Created attachment 63482 [details] First version of a patch (against DEV300_m51)
Here is a patch that implements this functionality. It has had some review and testing but more comments are always welcome
Nice..congrats for the patch
how can someone install this patch????
It should apply cleanly to the m51 developer milestone from openoffice org svn (it will probably apply cleanly to m52 too). i.e., patch -Np1 -i ../0001-Support-for-greek-numerals.patch and then build openoffice.org from source.
I don't seem to have permissions for this, but wouldn't marking this as a "PATCH" instead of an "ENHANCEMENT" increase its chances of getting applied? Or is that against some kind of policy?
Well, I admit I don't know how to do this either. This field is not editable even when I 'm logged in.
Neither of the authors mentioned in the patch is listed on http://www.openoffice.org/copyright/copyrightapproved.html - i.e. no signed copyright approval (one can argue whether it is needed for that more or less small patch) And what about the change to sw/source/ui/misc/numberingtypelistbox.src ? Messes up the encoding it seems... Anyway - setting type to PATCH
@MBA: please check if this patch submission is valid or can be validated. Thank you!
Adding OD to cc list as long as this issue refers to "Numbering and Bullets" feature.
@pktoss: did you read the comment from cloph? To allow us to accept your patch, we need a copyright assignment for it. Please have a look at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/SCA and act accordingly.
Hello, I was just wondering, if it is possible to finally include this patch in OpenOffice.org. I just downloaded the 3.3.0RC3 and to my surprise this still is not in the product, even though from what I read here, it seems to be technically solved. I know the Greek market is probably not exactly the biggest, but I don't really understand why it would take one and a half year after a solution is provided, to include the patch in the product. As for the licensing, is the code really so different from the implementation for Russian or Serbian (Unfortunately, I am not capable to judge this) I apologize if any of this sounds rude, which was definitively not my intention.
On my end I did everything I could (provide the patch and the copyright assignment). If I can help in any other way please let me know.
Did you get one from Diomidis Spinellis too? I've just sent him an e-mail asking for him to do this.
Thanks for moving this forward. The SCA from Diomidis Spinellis is on file now.
Thanks to "pktoss" too for the earlier work on the formalities (SCA on file) and especially on the patch.
I noticed an issue with the patch. Currently the list looks as ... ε. test. στ. test. ζ. test. ... That is, there is a longer space between the Greek number and the text, for certain numbers. With Greek small letters, this appears for the 'στ' number. With capital letters, this appears more often, without a discernible pattern. (Compiled on LibreOffice 3.3)
(In reply to comment #19) > I noticed an issue with the patch. > Currently the list looks as > > ... > ε. test. > στ. test. > ζ. test. > ... As discussed also in the greek libreoffice list, this problem is unrelated to greek, I see this in english numbering as well when it moves from one to 2 letters. I think the best way to avoid this problem in Libre Office is to make the bullet numbering "right justified".
I'm adding this comment to all open issues with Issue Type == PATCH. We have 220 such issues, many of them quite old. I apologize for that. We need your help in prioritizing which patches should be integrated into our next release, Apache OpenOffice 4.0. If you have submitted a patch and think it is applicable for AOO 4.0, please respond with a comment to let us know. On the other hand, if the patch is no longer relevant, please let us know that as well. If you have any general questions or want to discuss this further, please send a note to our dev mailing list: dev@openoffice.apache.org Thanks! -Rob
I think this is still relevant.
