* Did you notice that the default for LibreOffice is now to have lower-case Greek letters in non-italics, even though basically every academic publication you'll ever see has lower-case greek letters in italics, and this can only be changed to 'normal' behaviour using a hidden 'advanced' setting?Now there are two sets, one upright and one italic, so that you can write %beta and %ibeta and %BETA and %iBETA. There exists an advanced setting GreekCharStyle with values 0,1 or 2. Value 0 means: Write Greek symbols literal, those from set "Greek" upright, those from set "iGreek" in italic. Value 1 means: Write all Greek symbols in italic Value 2 means: Write large characters of set "Greek" upright and all others italic. You need to restart LibreOffice after changing the value. You can of cause force upright always with command nitalic, and force italic with command italic.The default should be setting 2, consistent with normal publishing practice. But on new installs, last time I checked, the default was still 0 with is a poor choice for the default.
Mode 2 for italic lower case greek symbols has been set as the default, tdf#105483 <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105483> was resolved for 5.4 with http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=68155a68578a0f4066c1c566c2d378bbae05c216 but the patch to use value 2 by default was rejected for backport to the 5.3 release. Until moving to a 5.4 build, users so inclined can set the "GreekCharStyle" stanza with a simple search/edit in expert configuration. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Input-required-font-selection-in-the-Math-component-tp4214054p4215208.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscribe@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
