Bug ID: 105936
Summary: OSX 10.11 & LO 5.3: Terrible letter spacing, Initials
don't work anymore
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.3.0.3 release
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
OS: Mac OS X (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
New font engine of LO 5.3 destroys on OSX 10.11 font design of all old and
newly created documents.
Main problems: Letters of words merge into another AND letter space in between
words gets huge gaps like blanks - terrible to look at, terrible to work with,
terrible to read. ALSO: Initials don't work anymore.
I went back to LO 5.2.4, might upgrade to 5.2.5, but with 5.3 it's not possible
to work all day long. It's a pain to look at the broken letter display. Very
sad.
Please make this "cross-platform type uniformity" optional - I don't need it, I
need readable documents, not some terrible 1990's or ancient Windows font
rendering. This is a major downgrade! Thank you.
Steps to Reproduce:
Create Writer document, write or paste some text, look at it.
For broken Initials: Create a paragraph of text and chose to make an initial
letter: it appears a blank space.
Actual Results:
Broken font rendering.
Expected Results:
Font rendering like on LO 5.2.4 and older.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
