Maybe I have seen the result of this issue, but in an extreme case
that misled me for quite some time about the actual characters in the
document. (Short version: look at second line in attachment f3b.png
at about 300% or 400% of natural size.) I am suggesting that you
consider adding some warning to help other users not waste time the
same way I did. On the other hand, ...
(*) the result is sensitive to my exact text, font, and spacing, and
(*) perhaps I am unusual in caring so much about one punctuation mark,
and
(*) it is only my use of a user-defined style which led me to look for
an esoteric way for a colon to be deleted before I noticed the
glyph positioning.
One thing that solves my problem is hdu's suggestion (2004-01-06) to
turn on UsePrinterMetricForFormatting, and that is what my proposed
warning message should say to do. Alas, I cannot suggest how to
recognize when the the warning is appropriate. Perhaps my situation
is too unusual to be worth attention.
I write "*maybe* the result of this issue" because I get different
visible results depending on whether the OOo window is maximimized or
not. I do not recognize any of the discussion so far as referencing
the state of the OOo window.
Anyway, here is the long version of my plaint, with screenshots taken
before I followed hdu's suggestion ...
I am running a non-product build of DEV300_m88, but I have also seen
this behaviour from (forked) OOo 2.4.1 as delivered with Ubuntu Hardy
(8.04). The on-screen rendering of the text is visibly different
depending on whether the OOo window is maximized or not, so let me add
that I running the gnome desktop and my screen size is 1280 by 1024
pixels. What else, I wonder, might be relevant? Please let me know
what I can do to clarify the situation.
Please open the (soon-to-be) attached file f3.odt. It has two
paragraphs with the same text; the first paragraph is just a reminder,
and the second will--I hope--show the difficulty. If necessary,
maximize the OOo window using the icon at the right end of the title
bar. Observe (attachment coming soon: f3a.png) that the display is
scaled to 100%, and the scope resolution operator in the second
paragraph clearly shows two colons.
Unmaximize the window using the icon at the right end of the title bar
of the window. Observe (attachment coming soon: f3b.png) that the
display is still scaled to 100%, but the first colon of the scope
resolution operator in the second paragraph has been reduced to a
couple of small warts on the preceding letter.
Use View > Zoom > Variable to set the display scaling to 75%. Observe
(attachment coming soon: f3c.png) that the first colon of the scope
resolution operator in the second paragraph is again clearly visible.
