[openFATE 308334] Distribute individual letters across cell width and height (aka 均等割符)
Feature changed by: Kohei Yoshida (kohei_yoshida) Feature #308334, revision 13 Title: Distribute individual letters across cell width and height (aka 均 等割符) Requested by: Kohei Yoshida (kohei_yoshida) Description: Distribute letters at equal intervals across cell's width such that the first and last letters are aligned with the left and right edge of the cell, respectively. Also support similar distribution mechanism in a vertical direction. This functionality is also known as Kin-tou Wari-fu (均等割符) in Japanese, and is very common operation among Japanese Excel users. Relations: - i#107467 - Excel import issue with cells with distributed content (url: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=107467) - i#107470 - Request for this feature in the upstream IZ (url: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=107470) Use Case: Sentences in the Japanese language do not normally break at each word unlike most Western languages. The normal justification functionality is therefore useless for the Japanese users. Instead, they typically justify sentences by adjusting spaces between letters, which is what this requested functionality will provide. Discussion: #3: Kohei Yoshida (kohei_yoshida) (2010-01-05 14:22:02) I've started looking into this. + #4: Kohei Yoshida (kohei_yoshida) (2010-01-05 17:36:46) + Here is the initial hurdle: Calc uses XSL-FO for all text formatting, + and fo:text-align specifies the alignment of a text (I assume for both + horizontal and vertical directions). The bad news is that, this + attribute does not allow a "distributed" alignment, but in order for us + to implement this feature, we need that to allow a distributed + alignment. + Reference: http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/#text-align -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308334
