--- Comment #7 from LibreTraining <[email protected]> ---
I spent hours trying to find any difference in these font files.
I found nothing that would explain the visual differences you describe.
The kerning tables are identical.
The new font file has 3450 glyphs vs. 1320 glyphs in the old file because they
added more languages and characters.
The font summary maximum and minimum character widths changed which I assume
changed because of all the new characters added not from changing any old
characters.
In my font tests (multiple) I did not find any visual differences.
See the attachment I added above: Times New Roman vs. Times New Roman OLD
Metrics look the same.
Kerning looks good (well acceptable).
So I cannot see the issue.
Need to get Ubuntu installed in a VM to test some other stuff.
So when I do I will look at this again.
Regarding your file sharing situation:
You can use the Fonts Replacement Table.
If you check both boxes it will not replace the font in the file,
but you will see and use Liberation Serif locally.
The font selector in the toolbar will still say Times New Roman,
but you will actually be looking at and working with Liberation Serif
So the visual you see should be the same metrics and kerning they see.
Then when you send the document back they will still see Times New Roman.
