Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 13917
Unwanted space between Japanese and Latin letters
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:15:02 UTC
Hi, folks, Latin letters immediately followed by Japanese letters in a cell or visa versa results in unwanted space between them. This space also involves underline break as shown by example. This space or break should not happen. If you closely look into the screenshot, you will notice the baselines stagger a little at the break and even have different thicknesses. This issue is reproduced with 644m11 on Linux and Windows2000. I will attach an archive of SXC and a screenshot.

Hi, I think this could not be fixed as it is a result from different font sets. Just select the text in the cell and cahnge the font to let's say Arial Unicode MS. As you can see, the staggered lines are now on the same level. The break in the underline must be there, as I'm not aware about a word containing both western and Asian characters. Best regards Frank

Hi, Frank, I think your ground to justify the break in underline is not very reasonable. See this example. A parenthesized Latin word enjoys unbroken underline. However, a parenthesized Japanese word suffers broken underline. This behavior is unequal to Japanese users. I don't think my suggestion is 'INVALID.' Sincerely,

Hi, now I get the point and no, your sugestions are not invalid. I've set this to invalid as this resolution seemed to fit best. So not your suggestion but the resolution was meant. Best regards Frank Hi Malte, have a look at the second attachment, it shows the desired behaviour in a better way than No. 1 Frank
It's not a bug, it's a feature. You can turn off the spacing in format/paragraph/Asian Typography, which is available when you enabled tools/options/LanguageSettins/Languages. We have an internal bug for the underline problem (#105218#), which will hopefully be exported to IssueZilla soon.
MT->SBA: Please verify and close
SBA->US: Please have a look.
Hi, folks, Thanks for your reply. I am simply not sure how to turn off the spacing with CALC. I reviewed this issue with 1.1beta2. In the "Format->Cells->Asian Typography" dialog, the check box: "Apply spacing between Asian, Latin and Complex text" is grayed out. May I expect OO.o will be fixed so that this option properly work with CALC? Thanks,
MT: You are right, it's disabled in Calc, I write a task for that. Other apps are OK.
Calc: #15453#
in OOo Writer the unwanted SPACE can be switched off in format/paragraph/Asian Typography as said earlier before. Problem in Calc is issue 15453.
Setting to "Closed".
