Hi,

in German UI, we have a string in Tools - Options, Writer - Basic fonts that is not fully displayed (if I use the correct translation).

See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38007

I'd like to make the label and the listboxes a little wider ( ~ +6%, easy fix, absolutely no sideffects expected). I just want to know if there are any concerns from the design team - or if other languages are affected as well and would like to have more space there.

regards,

André

Hi André!

The change is fine for me ...

If widening the list-boxes will only leave a small (let's say <10px) gap
towards the right side of the "Standard" button, then the listboxes
(both font selection and font size selection) might be enlarged to fill
this gap. For the user, it would require slightly more mouse-travel (and
maybe minimal inefficiencies when scanning the horizontal elements), but
it would look more sane.

Hope this helps ... do you need this statement in the issue tracker? If
yes, please send a ping.

Cheers,
Christoph

Same for Italian, but I see the fix has already been integrated and the
Italian string ("Dimensione") is shorter than the German one
("Schriftgrad") so this should already be OK in Italian too.
