Description Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2010-07-31 19:57:59 UTC 
A while back, gcalctool switched to pretty formatting, including the use of superscripted and subscripted numbers. Which are rendered in unicode characters that are (mostly) not present in Orca's chnames.py -- and also apparently unknown to speech dispatcher.
Comment 1 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2010-07-31 19:59:23 UTC 
Marking as a depends on bug 620109 because even after we add entries for these characters into chnames.py, we need speech dispatcher (and opentts) to actually do the right thing.

As long as you are using gnome-speech, merely adding the strings in question solves the problem. Additional work will be needed (bug 620109) to make speech-dispatcher and (presumably) opentts do the right thing.

Also note that I anticipate a few more string changes resulting from work this weekend. Therefore, I'll make a single string change announcement for this bug along with any others in a day or two.
