--- Comment #28 from Caolán McNamara <[email protected]> --- 7.6.4 is reported as good, but 7.6.4 includes the commit in the apparent bisect: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?h=libreoffice-7-6-4&id=bb495c6a2f00346698a041bce69a5a97effc79d7 so if 7.6.4 is good and 24.2 is not, then it's not just the presence of that commit that matters. That said, document text in writer, calc, impress etc is not rendered with the exact same settings as text in widgets/menus etc. See the presentation at https://events.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice-conference-2022/talk/B87ZBP/ for the details there. But all of that is already in 7.6 IIRC. By guess is that our different settings for rendering document text triggers some bug in whatever is the combination of cairo+freetype+etc on that system. It should be the case that the gen backend menu/widget text is rendered with the same settings as the system suggests, unlike the document text which can differ a little, and the a in Table etc already looks a little rubbish (while the doc text looks very rubbish) so I feel its more than just the resolution independent stuff at play here. It might be that: export SAL_ALLOW_DEFAULT_HINTING=1 makes a difference (but I don't recommend that variable as it given known broken behavior) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
