replace normal font with superscript

Thanks to all for the input - appreciated!!

Pedro contacted me directly and has put me right and I now have it working 100%.

He picked up my error and said "The trick is that the 'Pitch' means the label width PLUS any following space" whereas I was putting in only the gap between the labels, (which was zero). As I said once you get this right it works perfectly!!

I still think the Titles of the fields could be improved as could the help file - which could also use a better graphic to illustrate the values.

I agree that Scribus is an overkill but it was - at the time - my only other option. I tried using tables in LO but getting everything lined-up correctly was a nightmare!! In the end though it would work.

Thanks to all - The Forum never ceases to amaze me!!!

Good evening
Thisis probably a rather stupid question and has been answered on this
list (somewhere) a million times ...

(The job is already done - manually - so there is no hurry; I would like
to know the trick.)

I had a piece of text (txt file), which contained a lot of things like
"m2" (square meter).
Working in Writer I tried to do a "find and replace" and turn the "2"
into superscript.
But I could not figure out how that works. I ALWAYS got "m2" as
superscript, even I selected only "2" and then format -> superscript.
(after I while of trying I gave up and replaced those number manually)

What is the trick required to turn "2" into superscript?
But ONLY in "m2" and not all "2", since there were lots of other numbers
too.

I think this is simple: open character map in windows (you're in Windows,
aren't you?), copy the superscript two in the clipboard

Go to Writer, Search and replace, put search "m2" and replace "m(paste the
superscript after the m)", then command replace/replace all.

Ciao

Andrew's email was sent as plain text, so displays using whatever font

to Courier New for Western or Unicode text. However, the Content-Type

set is used, for which my client is set to use MS Gothic. I guess
you're seeing something similar - MS Gothic does appear a bit more
difficult to read for Western text, but presumably it includes
Japanese characters while Courier New doesn't.

Well, it sure does not display in plain text.

There is no formatting in the email - there is only plain text, no HTML or other formatted part. It does display in plain text, but using a different font because the headers indicate that a Japanese character set is used.

My display default in Thunderbird is Times Roman.

Presumably that's so for text in Western character sets. I'm not sure where the fonts are set in Thunderbird, but in SeaMonkey it's under:
   Edit > Preferences > Appearance > Fonts
There you can set the fonts used for Serif, Sans Serif, Monospace, etc. However, by default it shows the fonts used for those things for text in on particular character set (Western in my case). Selecting a different character set from the "Fonts for" dropdown list shows (and allows changing of) the fonts to be used for text in that character set. You'll probably find that selecting Japanese there shows a different set of fonts, other than Times Roman.

The first image shows me the font that is unreadable
The second one shows my normal/default "Times" display.

Indeed, I see similar results with those emails, but with MS Gothic for Andrew's and Courier New usually. But it's nothing to do with any fonts the sender has set in the email, only those set in your Thunderbird for the different character sets.

Mark.

Isn't spacing the gap between the labels. Spacing is ambiguous, pitch is not. Some of the wording may seem strange at times but often is the wording least open to mis-interpretation.
