Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 14455
Custom quotes not using correct font
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:56:16 UTC
A file with the default single quote substitution (Tools/AutoCorrect/CustomQuotes) in 1.1 Beta displays blocky quotes rather than the typographic quotes in the font. Version 1.0.3 displays the quotes from the font. Note that the same saved file displays the quotes differently in the two OOo versions on the same system so it is not to do with font installation etc. Effectively this means that any files using custom quotes saved under 1.0.3 need reformatting under 1.1 Beta.
Should have said this issue is on Linux, don't know if it applies to Windows. The font concerned was taken from Windows to Linux (happens with Elementary, Optimum and many others) but this also applies to the Times font on Linux. Interestingly it does NOT occur with Arial, Times New Roman, Comic Sans, Tahoma which are presumably more complete fonts?
This is fixed in 1.1Beta2 - wonderful!
