hello.
i dont know the exact difference for people who use screen reader or not.
but even some sighted people in iran, told me that they cant do professional
editing books because of the way that libreoffice shows and handles diacritics!
they told me that microsoft office is more professional.
i encourage many people for using libreoffice. they did not accept and told me
if libreoffice is good, why you dont use it yourself?
and i always say because of diacritics!
i am Muslim, read, edit and work with Islamic books and i lost my university
one of themost important reasons was diacritics!
one time i wanted to wrote an Islamic persian book which has arabic text with
diacritics.
i should copy verses of the holy Quran, and correct the mispeled diacritics.
i could not do this with libreoffice!
i did with notepad plus plus,
saved my work as txt format.
and every institute that i called them, did not accept txt format from me!
i fourced to send the book for one of my relatives and asked him to edit it for
me and convert to doc format.
he uses microsoft office and my encouragement for people that they use
libreoffice, unfortunately did not work until now!
and as i said, i lost my university!
