Description vicxp0518 2023-07-19 03:40:38 UTC 
Description:
The punctuations (especially those CJK ones) which stays at the beginning of any lines, should have the ability to be automatically compressed/indented, so that they look "aligned" to the left side of the paragraph.

Writer has by far no such function, while it's very commercially demanded, comparing to Word/InDesign.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start a paragraph with a CJK quotation mark (e.g.).
2.Or, insert into the middle of a sentence, and to make sure the quotaion mark right wraps into the beginning of a line.


Actual Results:
The quotation mark (e.g.) looks like "concaved" into the paragraph's left side, which makes the document looks "untrained".

Expected Results:
Should be able to compress such puntuations.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
Could reference to Word/Indesign, which has such functionality. In Word, it's a checkbox labeled "Allow punctuations at the start of a line to compress", found in "Paragraph" dialogue, "Asian Topography" tab.

Could also reference to open-source typeface management documentations for detail.

Please provide a sample document. When compression is enabled (Options → Language Settings → Asian Layout → Character Spacing) it seems to apply equally to punctuation at the start and end of the line, as well as in the middle.
