Description Rogerio Luz Coelho 2015-03-16 21:20:15 UTC
Before I updated to 4.3 the 4.3 tree and all before had an extensive range of options for choosing special characters in the Autocorrection fields, now it seems it is very much restricted. 

For example the formulas for Oxygen (O2) and  Water (H2O) do not seem possible any more. 

This is a regression I think. 

Thanks.

Ok ... new devolopment ... 

I found that the problem seems that the widget for the "special character" for the Autocorrection window is stuck in the "Cantarell" fonts. 

Seems this font doesn't have what I am looking for, I cannot change the font in this widget, If I could set it to Liberation, the problem should disappear. 

Hope this helps.

Still an issue, if attempting to add an Autocorrect replacement entry  (Tools -> AutoCorrect -> AutoCorrect Options) with focus in the With field, the context menu launch of Special Characters is limited to the system default font. I.e. on Windows 8, 8.1 or 10 that is Segoe UI.

It is also limited to using Unicode codepoints from the BMP, and can not access the codepoints from the SMP or beyond. Meaning for exaple, you could not create your own :emoji: entry for codepoint from the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictograph or Emoticon pages.
