Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 16584
Cut Paste of text from other language - TT font goes haywire
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:56:16 UTC
Sanskrit99 is a True Type font developed in India for the Devanagiri script used in Hindi. Marathi two languages spoken by zillions and is derived from Sanskrit that is zillions of years old. This cannot be pasted sensibly in the Word Processor. You can in Microsoft Office 97 - MS Word any edition - Why - seems to be something wrong with font displays. Does this happen with that, or arabic? best wishes

Hi reporter, thank you for using and supporting OOo. Does this problem still exist in OOo 1.0.3 or what ever the latest build available for your language might be)? If it does, please attach an OOo-document that reproduces this problem _here_in_the_issue_ with a simple step by step instruction how to reproduce the problem. This instruction might look similar like the following example: 0. unpack ma att. "xxxx.zip" 1. open something.sxw 2. open somehing.sxc 3. mark (A1:C5) in something.sxc 4. <CNTRL-C> 5. goto somehing.sxw 6. place cursor after word "anyword" 7. Edit/InputSpecial/DDE-link expected result: something ....... actual result: something other ...... Please also supply a possibility where we can get the fontset! Please give a hint concerning your platform! CU Rainer

Hi, I'm sorry but I do not understand all those explications. Do you agree with my following steps to reproduce the bug? Correct view with WORD 0. Install sanskrit fonstset on PC 1. Open "cut paste from itrans into ms word.doc" with WORD 2000 2. mark first paragraph "CORRECT DISPLAY ..... INSTALLED ON COMPUTER" 3. change font for marked test area to "sanskrit99" expected: paragraph should look like screenshot "withword.png" actual on your PC: look! Incorrect view with OOo 11. Open "cut paste from itrans into ms word.doc" with OOo1.1Beta2 12. mark first paragraph "CORRECT DISPLAY ..... INSTALLED ON COMPUTER" 13. change font for marked test area to "sanskrit99" expected: paragraph should look like screenshot "withword.png" actual: looks like screenshot "withooo.png" that is not "sanskrit99" Reporter, can you agree: - screenshot "withword.png" shows a correct result" - screenshot "withooo.png" shows the unexpected result with OOo" If yes, the problem hasn't to do anything with cut and paste, summary must be "OOo does not show font "sanscrit99" correctly.
