Description ulutte 2003-11-07 07:07:46 UTC
Hi,

By using fonts other than the default one and by setting
the size other than the default one, the symbol "dot q" for example
is badly printed : the dot is not located at the right place.

Font : Times
Size : 24pt

Equation: dot q

Furthermore, when editing the first time an equation,
the resulting formula cannot be seen on the viewing area.
But when re-editing the formula, the result can be seen while
entering the equation, but the size of the 
viewing box is not updated and the size of the characters in the formula 
are getting smaller as the equation grows.

All these bugs were not in version 5.2. Have the feeling
that the stability has some convergence problems....

Cheers,
Jacques

I can´t confirm this with OOo 1.1.0(en) on Win98. Could you attach a
screenshot of the badly displayed dot q? Thanks.

As to the other problems you report. Have you enabled (within
MathEditor menue) > View > Autoupdate Display ?

Comment 3 ulutte 2003-11-12 15:45:28 UTC
Yes I enabled View > Autoupdate Display.

I have attached a gif illustrating the problem.
The selected font is Helvetica italic.
The base size is 12pts.
My plateform is linux

I have an aditional comment :

The auto-redraw problem only happens when inserting
an equation in a presentation or drawing document.
If you insert it in a word document or as standalone
starmath document the content of the equation and the boundaries
are updated correctly. 
Comment 4 guido.pinkernell 2003-11-13 16:35:23 UTC
Thanks for the attachment, yet I still can't confirm. Maybe that's a
OS related problem so others need to have a look at it.

As to the autoupdate problem, I can confirm this. Yet we shouldn't
continue describing two problems in one and the same Issue. Please
open a new Issue for the autoupdating problem, and choose
"Enhancement" as Issue Type since this clearly isn't a defect.

Comment 6 grsingleton 2003-11-13 17:10:57 UTC
Tested with 1.1.0 under RH9. Changed default fonts from times to arial
and checked all was okay. Attached test file for further checking as
it may impact crossplatform stuff.

Guido, if it looks fine under Windows using my attachment I recommend
closing in the manner you suggested.
Comment 7 michael.ruess 2003-12-08 09:32:19 UTC
ulutte, 
which Linux distribution do you use? There are some problems on certain
distributions regarding fonts delivered with it (such as Times new Roman on
Redhat 7.x or 8.x). The fonts delivered with these are slightly corrupted (see
issue 20681). 
Comment 8 ulutte 2003-12-08 16:13:07 UTC
The problem occurs on slackware 8.x and Slackware 9.0.
Comment 9 michael.ruess 2004-01-27 12:08:16 UTC
MRU->HDU: I can reproduce the problem now on my new Mandrake Linux 9.1
installation. When entering a Formula like "dot q" in Math editor and using
TIMES as default font for Variables and a size of 24 pt, the display looks as
described.

according to the announcement on releases
(http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=releases&msgNo=7503) this issue
will be re-targeted to OOo Later.
Comment 14 ulutte 2004-10-19 13:22:07 UTC
Hi,

I tested this on 1.1.3 : the problem is still there (redraw problem and
misplaced dot/hat problem with e.g. timmons font).

X11 fonts are no longer used in StarMath on X11 => the most appropriate status for this issue is now
