Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Incorrect Formatting Japanese Ruby

Hi :)
It might be good to contact the devs list about this.  Normally people just post bug-reports
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport
and leave the devs to get on with it, perhaps answering their questions and testing patches they 
might produce.  

However, if you want to get involved with coding it might be good to contact their list directly.  
It might be good to do a few "Easy Hacks" first
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Easy_Hacks
just to get used to coding for LibreOffice and perhaps get some feedback on questions you might 
have about doing the coding.  I guess  that if you have done coding for another project then maybe 
just 1 or 2 easy hacks might be enough to work it all out but i think they have got a good system 
for helping people learn their way in quite quickly.  

Whichever way you go with this good luck and regards from
Tom :)

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).

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.

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?
