@nobuto: Thank you for sharing your steps to success. The apt-get install step did the trick and did not complain about python-uno.
I can confirm the resolution to the problem I originally reported. The relative font fatness in preview mode is seemingly identical to the font fatness in presentation mode. Without the patch and with hardware acceleration enabled, then the font puffs up fat in presentation mode. Thank you for resolving this trouble. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585910 Title: [Upstream] Impress Font fuzzy in presentation mode when Use hardware acceleration enabled Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Fix Released Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Confirmed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “libreoffice” source package in Precise: Fix Committed Status in “libreoffice” source package in Quantal: Triaged Bug description: [Impact] * bold characters blurs horizontally if the font does not have a bold typeface. This makes characters less readable. See. https://launchpadlibrarian.net/49398403/Screenshot-OpenOffice.org%203.2-PresentationModeFuzzyFont.png * There is a workaround, which is turning off hardware acceleration. But it makes animations and transitions quite slow. [Test Case] 1. type some text and make it as bold in Impress editing mode. 2. apply font which does not have a bold typeface to the text. e.g. "Takao PGothic" font in fonts-takao-pgothic package. 3. press F5(presentation) 4. the text blurs horizontally. And the look of the font differs from editing mode.
