Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 67623
GNOME (desktop) application font used as default bullet font
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:15:21 UTC
The desktop's application font is the default font for bullets in the Bullets and Numbering dialog (Format->Bullets and Numbering... menu). This is incorrect. One possible default could be the default font for Bullets in the Styles and Formatting:Character Styles window, but this is StarSymbol which does not exist on my system. Even when the Bullets default font is changed in the Styles and Formatting:Character Styles window, the default font for bullets in the Bullets and Numbering dialog is still the GNOME application font. I believe that the only reasonable choice for the default font for bullets should be the font of the Default paragraph. (Of course, if the user changes the font in Styles and Formatting:Character Styles and saves it in a template and makes this template the default template, then that font should be the default font for bullets.)
MRU->OD/OS/HDU: It looks that the Numbering/Bullets dialog does not correctly make useof the font replacement. Or is the fon replacement wrong? Normally, OpenSymbol is taken to replace StarSymbol in OpenOffice. When activationg a bullet and then opening the Numbering dialog (options page) and clicking the "character" button to open access the "special character" dialog, a font different than OpenSymbol is used (on my SUSE 10.1 it's Albany AMT, on Windows it's Tahoma). Please have a look; from a QA's view I cannot see if this is problem is in the dialog or the replacement. Thanks!
Corrected Prio.
