Character Styles and Attribute Problems (Linux Libertine)
Posted: 2017-12-04 09:52:42
Hello, All,
I’m writing with a question about character styles and formatting that I just haven’t been able to figure out.
The example document attached (RTF & PDF) is a truncated version of a much, much longer typescript, where the problem is shown. In this document, the footnote reference marks—or at least all of the footnote reference marks in the main paragraph style—have stopped playing ball. That is, they won’t appear in superscript in the the main paragraphs. Instead, they appear in regular, normal-size script.
The font definition indicates that they are in superscript; the character palette on the right-hand side indicates that they are in superscript; but, in fact, they appear in normal-size script.
I’ve fiddled with things to try to resolve the problem, but with no luck. No matter what I do, they won’t appear in superscript. It appears, perhaps, that the paragraph style is overriding the character style somehow. (I have of course read the important page by Martin, "Why aren't changes to a style showing in my document text? [viewtopic.php?f=22&t=5470]", but nothing mentioned there works).
Any ideas anyone might have on how to resolve the problem would be much appreciated.
Stef.
P.S. The font I’m using is Linux Libertine (the TTF version). If I change the font to something like Times, the problem goes away, but I have hundreds of pages written like this, all of which have been carefully proofread, and I’d prefer to keep the Linux Libertine font.
