Description johanmattsson 2022-02-14 21:40:04 UTC
Description:
Super script could be a bit prettier with fonts that includes special super script glyphs (like U+00B2).

Steps to Reproduce:
Type Ctrl+Shift+P and "2". Compare that to U+00B2 in the current font. Tested with Dejavu Serif. The difference is small but U+00B2 is a little bit better.

Actual Results:
A thinner version of the digit.

Expected Results:
The U+00B2 glyph from the font, if present.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
This feature is not available in all fonts but it would be nice if Writer made it possible to use these glyphs id they are available.
