--- Comment #7 from Owen Genat <[email protected]> ---
Created attachment 89006
  --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=89006&action=edit
ZIP containing screenshot showing display under various LO versions.

This probably constitutes confirmation, in that I am seeing the same on-screen
appearance indicated in the screenshot provided in comment #6. This problem
however is possibly more complex and likely older than currently indicated. I
have tested the file provided in comment #4 by opening it on a single computer
under Crunchbang 11 x86_64 linux running these versions of LO:

- v3.3.4.1 OOO330m19 (Build:401)
- v3.4.6.2 OOO340m1 (Build:602)
- v3.5.7.2 Build ID: 3215f89-f603614-ab984f2-7348103-1225a5b
- v3.6.7.2 Build ID: e183d5b
- v4.0.6.2 Build ID: 2e2573268451a50806fcd60ae2d9fe01dd0ce24
- v4.1.3.2 Build ID: 70feb7d99726f064edab4605a8ab840c50ec57a

Screenshots of the results are attached and differ from that indicated in the
description and comments 4 and 5. All versions of LO apart from v3.3.4.1
exhibit problems in display of the text set in Adobe Garamond. Both v3.3.4.1
and v4.1.3.2 exhibit the same line height metric, so there has evidently been
an improvement in this area in the latest release. The mis-interpretation of
glyphs across all later versions seems identical, with the exception that
certain uppercase glyphs (FGHJKPQU) are no longer represented using a rectangle
outline under v4.x.

It is worth noting that if Adobe Garamond Pro fonts (refer comment #1) are
installed on the same system, the Pro series fonts will cause the text to
display as expected (regardless of whether the provided Adobe Garamond Expert
series fonts are installed or not). It would therefore seem important any
testing be done on a system where the ONLY Garamond fonts are those provided in
the description. 

To add to what I stated in comment #1, if only the Regular font (padr8a.pfb) is
installed then all versions tested here display the example document as
expected. If the Regular and Regular Expert fonts (padr8a.pfb, padr8x.pfb) are
installed then only v3.3.4.1, v4.0.6.2, and v4.1.3.2 display the text as
expected. The same pattern occurs for the Bold+Expert, BoldItalic+Expert,
RegularItalic+Expert, SemiBold+Expert, and SemiBoldItalic+Expert combinations
with varying degrees of glyph mis-interpretation. I have not exhaustively
tested every possible combination for all the provided fonts, and this would
seem unnecessary. 

The good news is that there appears to be some mild improvement under the v4.x
series.
