If I have an East-Asian character in my (predominantly English) document, followed by a quotation mark (opening or closing), the quotation mark uses the full-width version (and it takes the font settings from the “Asian text font” section of the style definition).
For example (see attachment):
if I have the text
日 “sun”
in my document, the opening “ will be full-width and in a Chinese font (regardless of whether or not I have a space between the character and the quotation mark – note that the space is normal width…). If I have
日, “sun”
(with the comma) then all is fine.
The only way I can solve this problem is to use direct formatting to force the opening quotation mark to use my “Western text font” (and the appropriate size), which is brittle and not very satisfactory. Is there a setting somewhere that I’ve over-looked? Or does this seem like a bug that I ought to file?
I would be most grateful for any assistance / advice / suggestions.
Edit:
Apologies if I didn’t make this clear: this problem is not to do with the input method I am using; it concerns the rules according to which LO applies the “Western text font” and “Asian text font” settings. Following a logic I can only describe as “buggy”, LO formats the (normal-width, western) space and opening quotation mark immediately before the Latin letter “s” according to the “Asian text font” setting.
