I've determined the "source" of the problem (there is more than one): 1. There is no "offset" control as there is in Microsoft Office. As the interface and name of the interface seems to be a straight up copy of MSO, I think this is the direction LibreOffice is moving in anyways, and I eagerly await the next update. 2. The fallback font for Libreoffice does not take into account the language of the font, and it is using a Chinese font for Japanese (and the Chinese font does not display Japanese properly). http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n3643671/rubyproblem.png The above shows how the ruby characters must look. But it also shows the fallback broblem; some characters display in gothic typeface when they should be displaying in mincho. http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n3643671/rubyproblem2.png The second image, above, shows how the font is supposed to look; but now that we're using an Asian (Japanese) font, the vertical advance is far too high! It appears as if the ruby characters are being displayed above the vertical advance and not below the vertical advance as they rightly should be. What we need is an offset box that allows us to move ruby BOTH closer to and farther away from the Japanese. Does anyone know where in the code this should be done? -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Incorrect-Formatting-Japanese-Ruby-tp3640608p3643671.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+help@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
