Description Chris Fynn 2021-01-25 12:31:25 UTC
Description:
Add support for page numbering, list numbering, heading numbering, etc. using non Latin script digits.

When I am creating a document in (for example) Hindi or Nepali language using Devanagri script, or in Tibetan or Dzongkha language using Tibetan script I should be able to use Devanagri script or Tibetan script digits instead of Latin script digits.

At present I am unable to do this unless I have a font where the glyphs for Latin script(ASCII) digits are replaced by glyphs for Devanagri or Tibetan script digits.  

This should apply to all the sets of (decimal) digits in the Unicode blocks for different scripts.

Steps to Reproduce:
Enhancement request - not a bug

Actual Results:
Enhancement request - not a bug

Expected Results:
Ability to do Page numbering, List numbering, Heading numbering using digits for different scripts.


Reproducible: Always

This has always been possible. You may see the list of possibilities on the screenshot of version 6.4 (to match your version) for normal lists; also it is indeed available for all kinds of numerations elsewhere - list styles, page numbering in page styles, chapter numbering, etc.

Closing INVALID, since there is no such problem in the program.

For completeness: the range of available numbering options depends on enabling Asian and CTL checkboxes on Options->Language Settings->Languages. Being checked by default in Asian/CTL locales, they are unchecked by default on Western locales, to avoid cluttering the UI.
