And actually we have just added additional support for the N'Ko and Adlam mathematical notation (bug 170259) to the 'Functions' panel of the sm 'Elements' deck. There is little advantage to suppressing any of these as *each notation style* is clearly delineated. If you need it it is there, it would be highly presumptive to suppress. Especially as we are actively flattening other UI facets of our ODF language tri-fecta (Western, CJK, CTL). remains => NAB and no compelling reason to modify. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
