Description drlock 2003-12-17 18:20:14 UTC
I have been using the Greek font BwGrkl (You can get it free at:
http://www.bibleworks.com/fonts.html ).  This font uses the characters: `,./ and
v for overstrike accents and breathing marks.  In other words these add a mark
over a previous character rather than inserting a new character.

I was running OO 1.0.3 on my MAC (under YellowDog) and this font worked
beautifully.  I just recently switched to using my laptop (Running Win98 and OO
1.1) because I am on the road.

OO 1.1 displays the greek characters fine, but when I try and enter an
overstrike character, I get the English equivalent character on the screen and
not a breathing or accent mark.  I checked MS Word on the same machine and it
displays the overstrikes correctly.

For instance if I type: avgaph,
I should get the Greek characters agaph with a smooth breathing mark over the
'a' and an acute accent over the 'h'

Thanks for your help.

Yes, the root cause is duplicate to issue 21821, which got fixed in CWS
fontlists02 for target OOo2.0. Need to be verified once the CWS got integrated.
