Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 81020
some special characters not displayed in axis title
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:22:01 UTC
In dialog Insert - Title it is possible to insert special characters, although some of them are not displayed properly, like symbols for square and cube operations. See attached screenshot, instead of symbol little dot is placed over title.
Created attachment 47783 [details] screenshot
forgot to tell, that these are character U+F007 and F008, not 00B2 and 00B3, and these are not displayed in any chart title.
sorry, problem is elsewhere - rather in insert special character dialog. when inserting special character to dialog field, only characters for font verdana are available and font dropdown is grey. Feel free to reassign when needed.
First set the font in the object properties of the title, then use 'insert special character'. Then you get the chosen font. As far as I know, it is not possible to mix fonts in such fields. If a character is available in Unicode, you should use it. What you will get, if you use a character of the private area U+E000 to U+F8FF, depends on the font. Using 'private' characters will always lead to problems, when documents are moved to a machine where that special font is not available. I think that there is no defect.
Yes, it's right that titles only may use one font. There is also another problem with edit fields (not only in chart, but everywhere) that you can only insert special characters of the UI font, not of the font in which the title will later be displayed. So, insert the title first, change the font to the one you want to use, add special characters then via the UI edit mode (double-click on the title instead of using the Insert/Title dialog).
Maybe a good idea
In my eyes the attached picture shows a bug in the display of the titles within the chart view and not within the dialog. It could be that this is a duplicate to issue 88376. It is fixed in version DEV300m29. @vagula, maybe you can try it on your system? You can download the developer version DEV300m29 or newer here: http://download.openoffice.org/680/index.html
Ah sorry, I need to correct myself. The fix for issue 88376 is still not integrated into the product, so it is not possible to check so far. It will be integrated with CWS vcl93.
looks like ok now
uups, sorry. checked on windows, issue was reported about Linux
assigned to "unassigned"? Strange...
Now the fix for issue 88376 is integrated in versions OOO300m4 (branch on the way to OpenOffice.org 3.0) and DEV300m31(branch on the way to OpenOffice.org 3.1). @vagula, a download containing the fix is now available, ( http://download.openoffice.org/680/index.html ) so you might try it on your system. Issue 88376 was a UNIX only problem as this issue.
I will close this issue as duplicate of issue 88376 now. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 88376 ***
If the bug still occurs for you in OOo 3.0 feel free to reopen the issue.
