Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 32752
Char style always has font size associated
Last modified: 2004-08-10 06:50:37 UTC
When I define a custom character style and make changes to the Font tab, OOo seems to always associate a font size with the style. I want to specify a "typeface", such as Italic, independent of the font and size, so I can use it with paragraph styles of varying fonts and sizes. In contrast, the Font setting works the way I want it to: if I delete the name in the Font field, OOo uses the default font of the underlying paragraph style. But it seems to retain the Size value even if I delete the selection in that field. It seems like a bug that Font and Size don't work the same way. What I want is something like FrameMaker's "As-is" setting. Font effectively does this, but Size does not. Whether it's currently designed that way or not, I want them both to work the way Font does. A visual indication of the "as-is" setting would be nice. (The Font field always displays Times New Roman when you reopen the dialog.)
Also, I tried changing the Size of a custom char style from 12pt to 100%. I would expect that if I apply this to a paragraph where the default font is 10pt, the text with the char style applied would be 100% of 10pt. Instead it changes to 12pt. When I reopen the char style dialog, it shows 12pt again.
The actual settings in a style are shown on the tab "Organizer" in part "Contains" and not in the tab "font". To delete all font-settings use the standard-button on the font-tab. Your 100%-problem is duplicate to issue 4279.
Yes it's duplicate to 4279. The 100% value is stored as absolute value, which makes it all a bit inconsistent. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 4279 ***
Closed.
