In Burmese some chapter numbers are bigger than others

See the capture:

Is the style of both chapter numbers the same, or has a different style been applied to both?

In usfm it is the same style:

\c 117
\cp ၁၁၇

\p

\vp ၁။\vp* လူမျိုးအပေါင်းတို့၊ ထာ၀ရဘုရားသခင်ကို ချီးမွမ်းထောမနာပြုကြလော့။  လူအပေါင်းတို့၊ ကိုယ်တော့်ကို ချီးမွမ်း ဂုဏ်ပြုကြလော့။-

Okay, thank you.
And in the OpenDocument file, is the style the same in both cases?

The style is the same in the export to OpenDocument.

Here's a video that shows what is going on.

It is related to the Drop Caps handling in OpenOffice or LibreOffice.

One of the characters in the chapter number is longer, so it drops below the base line. Then OpenOffice or LibreOffice decide to make the whole chapter number smaller so it fits within the space assigned to it.

Here's the video.

And here's the document the video was recorded from:

I guess this is something that is beyond Bibledit.

It exports the Burmese chapters correctly to html and to web. The size is right there.

Any ideas how to resolve this for OpenDocument?

No idea, sorry!!

[teusbenschop]

I have no ideas either.

But what I think is that this is an issue in OpenOffice.

Perhaps a step towards a solution would be to submit this case to their issue tracker.

[LAfricain]

I opened a new issue on the LO bug tracker, please have a look on it. Burmese drop caps issue on LO bug tracker.

[teusbenschop]

Since the issue is now with LibreOffice, I am closing this issue in this Bibledit tracker.
Please reopen if needed.

I checked the box in the export menu to put a frame on the chapter numbers. It solves part of the problem, at least when exported in pdf in LO. I also noticed that the original pdf of this Bible that was already published surrounded the chapter with a circle.

Is it possible to add this option in Bibledit or not?

[teusbenschop]

If adding a circle is something that LibreOffice supports, then I guess Bibledit can also support it.

It really depends on whether LibreOffice supports this circle.

[LAfricain]

If adding a circle is something that LibreOffice supports, then I guess Bibledit can also support it.

I have no idea if LO can supports it.

[teusbenschop]

I just searched shortly for drawing a circle around a text frame, but no results came up.

My initial guess is that LibreOffice does not support drawing circles around a text frame.

I'm open to better guesses than this.
