Description canderson2 2005-08-03 19:59:32 UTC 
When I insert a unicode symbol from a unicode font (using Insert: Special
Character), the cursor changes size as though it is inserting a significantly
larger point sized font, even though the displayed font is the same size (say
cursor looks like 36pt and font displayed is 12). Then subsequently the same
effect occurs for all code pages in the unicode font.If I change to a
non-unicode font font-size/spacing returns to normal (after a carriage return).

This isn't a line spacing issue, and it seems to only affect my unicode fonts. 

I could send some screenshots but I don't know how to go about that in
issuezilla--if you email me I can send them.

The change in line-spacing that thus occurs (single-spaced but appearing as
almost double-space because of the additional padding on top of the characters)
is preserved in print-preview, and in printed copy. So it isn't just a display
issue I think.

Hope this is enough info.

Addenda: Screenshot attached. And one unicode font doesn't seem to have the
problem--Verdana. (MS I think).

I confirm this problem with another Unicode font, Doulos SIL, a free font
maintained by SIL International. You can download it here:

http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=DoulosSILfont

I have tested it with OO 2.2 on Linux (Ubuntu Edgy 6.10) and Windows XP Pro
(Service Pack 2), and this problem occurs on both platforms.

This is therefore an OO problem.

I dearly, dearly wish this issue to be resolved, otherwise I will be forced to
use another application. Doulos SIL is a standard font in my field and it is the
best available Unicode fonts with IPA exentions. Bottomline is, I do not want to
use another font.

ES->HDU: as described. Same behavior in Word but not so heavy.
