Description khbellgardt 2003-12-03 08:44:28 UTC 
At present subscripts and superscripts are shown at the same horizontal position
relative to the indexed character. This looks well for normal fonts. But for
italic fonts the subscript should be shifted left to have the same distance to
the indexed letter as the superscript.

Comment 5 khbellgardt 2008-05-16 08:06:34 UTC 
The issue can still be found in OOo2.4 as you can verify by opening the attached
document. The problem is not only found in normal text but even worse in
OOo-Math. This is shown in the second attached document. 

For italic fonts, the big spacing between a letter in normal position and a
subscript looks terrible and the reader will not recognize them as a unit. In
scientific papers you can find many of such expressions. The bad looking of
those OOo-documents is a true know-out criterion for OOo compared to MS Office.

Hey, as you may guess I meant "knock-out criterion"

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
