Strangely, I encounter a severe typographical problem when exporting as PDF a
document that contains the default serif font Thorndale AMT.
To be exact, there occurs very bad kerning in the regular and bold-italics
typefaces. In the regular typeface, the 'o' and 'n' are much too close, and
the same holds for 't' and 'i' in the bold-italics typeface.
In Writer itself, there does not seem to be a problem. But after exporting to
PDF the problem is very apparent.
It does not even matter whether I enable pairkerning or not.
I wonder whatever can be the matter. Surely the font itself cannot be at
fault? I have been using it for quite a lot of text in the past and I never
had any problem with it. Then, after updating to OOo 2.2.0, I saw for the
first time an instance of bad kerning with Thorndale exported as PDF, in a
long text. I attributed this to some miscalculation and I did not pay much
attention to it because it was a single instance in a long text only.
I do use SUSE Linux 10.0 and I have set
LD_PRELOAD="$sd_inst/program/filter/libfreetype.so.6" in the soffice script in
order to make pairkerning work as per issue # 61023.
Of course, I will try to upload the corresponding ODF and PDF files.
