A small correction: Linux distribution used to confirm this phenomenon is "Fedora 8" instead of "Fedora Core 6."
pl->hdu: please have a look
@tora: you did extensive testing and provided excellent bugdocs, thank you!
Fixed in CWS vcl93. mh: I'm wondering if a OOo3.0 target would be more appropriate...
@hdu: Thank you for your prompt fix. A request for comments about target in the ML of native-lang. http://native-lang.openoffice.org/servlets/BrowseList?list=dev&by=thread&from=2105324 I think Chinese might be more sensitive to this phenomenon than Japanese.
Just Information. Related issues: Issue 92648 (this issue) Issue 92671 (Linux relevant issue) Issue 92691 (special character relevant issue)
target 3.0 approved by MH
@hi: please verify in CWS vcl93
status update: The regression is fixed for all glyphs and on all platforms but there is one exception: on the windows platform there still is a problem that the positioning of the CJK punctuation symbol "ideographic full stop" has an offset of about half a character width. This prevents this issue from being verified. If this remaining problem cannot be solved for OOo3.0 I suggest to split it of as non-OOo3.0 task before the whole regression goes unfixed into OOo3.0.
@hdu: I appreciate your hard efforts. I agree with your suggestion.
@hdu: CWS vcl93 checked out on August 20, 2008 seems to work well on Windows. I built DEV300_m29 plus cvs update -r cws_dev300_vcl93 in the directory vcl on Windows and then confirmed the fix with it. I am attaching a PDF file produced with the build. - 92648_exported_by_DEV300_m29_vcl93_Windows.pdf Do you have any PDF files regarding your comments on Fri Aug 15 10:37:48 +0000 2008?
Created attachment 55877 [details] A result file produced with the fixed build on Windows.
@tora: thanks for the feedback! I commited a fix yesterday for the problem I mentioned on August 15th, so I'm glad to have your confirmation that it works indeed :-) I'll thoroughly check the new fix on all different platforms.
@hdu: That is so nice!
Verified with cws vcl93 = ok
This issue is closed automatically and wasn't rechecked in a current version of OOo. The fixed issue should be integrated in OOo since more than half a year. If you think this issue isn't fixed in a current version (OOo 3.1), please reopen it and change the field 'Target Milestone' accordingly.
