Diacritics ș,ț, look different in Arial, Times New Roman, possibly other font families

Asked by Claudiu Vlad

Diacritics ș,ț, look different in Arial, Times New Roman, possibly other font families.

By different I mean they look 80-90% smaller than their neighbor letters.

What setting did I miss ? These diacritics looked normally in Openoffice.

Yes, I have a screenshot right here at imageshack http://img29.imageshack.us/i/selection002.jpg/
To be noted that the diacritics are NOT the cedilla diacritics but the coma diacritics.

most Arial distributions are missing the new romanian diacritics like ș and ț, since the Arial font was created before 1999, until the cedille-s and the cedille-t were used in romania too.

So, LibreOffice (as well as OpenOffice and even MS Office) look for another font, that has these special characters and displays them from that other font (instead of blanks or error marks).

If you want to have specifically Arial with the s comma diacriticile, you need to get Arial Unicode

Can you help with this problem?
