It appears this limitation is described by bug fdo#44784 (and also fdo#68735 and fdo#83145). Adjusting the Position (e.g., superscript / subscript) of either the paragraph text or ruby text also offers no effective workaround for closing the gap between the two related lines of text. This may indicate that the problem is font-related. … the large leading is reduced to a more expected level. ![]() If the the Japanese paragraph text from the second example is set in WenQuanYi Zen Hei: It seem to have an unusually large Leading metric, so perhaps Asian fonts are designed to cater for additional space requirements, such as that demanded by ruby text? Certainly in LO the ruby text is included within the overall line height metric such that reducing the Line spacing appears to crop the ruby text e.g., underlying paragraph text highlighted in pale grey and ruby text in slightly darker grey: I have created a basic test here using the ヒラギノ丸ゴ Pro W4 (Hiragino Maru Gothic Pro W4) OTF font that ships with Mac OS 10.6.8. Would increasing / fixing the line height of the main text help? This is usually how the default leading in a font is adjusted.ĮDIT: Thanks for clarifying with an example screenshot. Don’t you want the Furigana to sit closer to the line of text beneath it and these lines of text to sit far enough apart to clearly indicate the association? The grey leading seems to be at the top of the Furigana. I basically need the TOP edge of every line to be editable in a similar manner. ![]() Here is a visual illustration of the problem:Įditing paragraph lines WILL NOT work, because that only applies to the bottom edge of the lines in question. I had this same problem with OpenOffice before, to be honest, and it never got resolved then. ![]() The grey borders in the furigana should give you an idea of how extreme the padding is, and I need to somehow artificially eliminate all of it in order for furigana to work properly. ![]() The font in question is 小塚ゴシック Pro L, I think the “English” version of the name is Kozuka Gothic Pro L, it’s an OpenType font. This padding is also negatively impacting furigana/ruby text (aka “Asian phonetic guide” text), because the furigana will actually appear at the edge of the font’s border, including padding, meaning that with certain fonts the furigana can be floating several millimeters above the actual character it’s supposed to be attached to, sometimes even being closer to the characters in the previous line because of it. Unfortunately, due to the very blocky nature of the Japanese (/Chinese/Korean) language, it’s extremely unnecessary, so I would like to figure out a decent way to “remove” the extra padding from within a text document in Writer. So I’ve been working a lot with Japanese fonts lately, and, as with many decorative Latin fonts, there is often a whole lot of unnecessary vertical space built in to the fonts.
