Description Jeff Loflin 2022-11-29 15:01:01 UTC
Description:
If you type in 1/2 or 1/4 then Space, the fraction will display smaller and use only one space in the document. This is good. It makes the document look more professional and is easier to read. All other fractions do not display that way and it is frustrating. I can't go anywhere in the program to make them display that way.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Type 1/2 or 1/4
2.use space bar. Fraction will change
3.Type any other fraction, use space bar. Fraction will not change

Actual Results:
Fractions did not change.

Expected Results:
Software should change all fractions.


Reproducible: Always

First, having a fraction as one character depends on the availability on the Font, it's not a matter of the program.

LibreOffice has Menu/Tools/Autocorrect options/Replace for 1/2 1/3 1/4 1/8.
You can add more, but autocorrection depends if they are available on the Font.
As example, 'DejaVu Serif' has a lot others only have three.

You can take a look also in Menu/Insert/Special character, and searh for 'fract', and go down or up in the font name.
