Sorry about the butt ugly coloring in the bmps. :) I reduced the resolution to 256 colors so they're smaller. -Jonathan MRU->US: pls have a look. us->hdu: any ideas? Writer's autocorrection changes the "normal quotation marks" to typographical quotation marks U+201X and the Courier font available on this system doesn't support these unicodes. Courier is one of the few surviving bitmap fonts on the Win32 platform and since we don't have access to the font file we cannot calculate the unicode coverage it provides. So when typgographical quote is requested that is not supported by the font we don't know that the glyph fallback feature could be triggered. HDU->submitter: as a quick workaround I suggest to change Courier to Courier New or to disable the "typographical quote autocorrection" in the "Custom Quotes" tabpage in the Tools->AutoCorrection dialog... It would probably be a good idea to no longer support these ancient bitmap fonts on the Win32 platform... US->US: need to clarify with UserEx whether we could abandon win bitmap fonts. US->FT: can we abandon/ignore Bitmap fonts on Windows platforms for the future? FT: Targeted, priorised and re-assigned to default feature request owner.
