Description eric.savary 2009-11-20 13:27:04 UTC

We removed the option described in issue 107083 because it should be handled by
the replacement table.

Please add following replacement to the autocorr replacement table:
1/4 -> char 00BC (188)
1/2 -> char 00BD (189)
3/4 -> char 00BE (190)



---------
Note for anybody reading this and wanting more... ;) :

The "fraction" replacement function has once been implemented while the product
was not supporting Unicode. So only the 3 basic fraction characters are supported.

Now Unicode offers more fraction characters (see 2153-215E).
We decided to NOT implement replacements for those characters in the future
(=WONTFIX).
Why?
- We believe the use of such extended characters is pretty marginal (Ex: "5/8")
- Due to performance reasons, we avoid adding more and more entries in the
replacement table
- As those charcters are not available in a majority of the fonts, this would
lead to unwanted problems:
-> user types "5/8" and gets "?" because the current font doesn't support
Unicode. He doesn't know why it happened and where to correct this.

Fixed but failed.
None of language have 1/2... in their replacement table.
Cecked in CWS cbosdo01 based on m70.

SBA->cedricbosdo: How comes ES could verify this? I do not any of this in the
remased m70 CWS installation MBA provided.
More findings:The acor_en-US.dat file in the list your last link points to, has
a complete empty replacement list (4kB instead of the original 9kB file size is
suspicious anyway)
Smells like "something wrong", reopening issue.

Comment 10 cedric.bosdonnat.ooo 2010-02-12 08:40:19 UTC

@sba: I can't see the problem you are mentioning with the acor_en-US.dat and the
other problem you're mentioning...

When checking the link to the hg commit I can clearly see the added entries at
the end of the DocumentList.xml of each .dat file.

@mba: any idea where it could come from?

Comment 11 Mathias_Bauer 2010-02-12 15:27:17 UTC

It seems that the build that I provided to Stefan didn't contain the new
autocorrection files. I'm currently doing a rebuild and expect that everything
will be fine then.

Sorry for the noise.

Comment 12 stefan.baltzer 2010-02-12 16:21:59 UTC

Thanks, MBA: OK in newly built build. Set to fixed again.
