            Bug ID: 129817
           Summary: Want a way to use text characters as a paragraph area
                    bitmap.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.3.0 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: gw at gwrenshaw.ca

Description:
The only way I can find to create a paragraph style that contains text as an
area is to use an external program to convert the text to an image and then
import it into the styles Area tab. This is awkward, especially if all I want
is a single character in a specific dingbat font.

It would be nice to have fields in the Area -> Bitmap dialogue that would allow
a short piece of text, a font, and a name to be specified.

A Create button would then convert the text to the desired font (preferably as
an SVG, which would eliminate the need for a font size option) and save it
under the specified name just as it would be with the Import button. The image
can then be used like any other image in the bitmap presets.

While this might seem like an esoteric feature, it would be incredibly handy
when designing books and using dingbats or other characters as markers between
scenes and in other design elements.

Steps to Reproduce:

2.
3.

Actual Results:
none

Expected Results:
Easy inclusion of text characters as a paragraph style in document designs.


Reproducible: Always
