Bug ID: 152926
Summary: Change in Font Size changes DISPLAYED Font itself
completely!
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.3.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I am trying to design signs in irregular size. Therefore, I changed the size of
the format to 42cm x 12cm, landscape format.
In the beginning, everythin went well. Even though, not all the fonts were
displayed correctly - mainly completely consisting of wrong characters.
E.g.: I want to use font "Verdana". It did not work well - the character
spacing was completely uneven. Therefore, I just changed the font to "Arial
Black" and it looked pretty well. I then saved the .odt-file, as well as an
exported .pdf. Luckily!
Then the programm seems to get trouble with my conditions.
I re-opened the .odt-file one day later to produce another document. But: All
of a sudden even with "Arial Black" the character spacing was conpletely uneven
and it
looked non-usable.
I was scared, because I have to work on this programm to designing these
documents!
However, I again tried different fonts. But now, it started to get even worse.
I didn't find any font which looked normal in the character spacing.
I tried a different way:
I opened a new and blank file "normal DIN-A4 size in white", and tried
"Calibri".
This again looked good! In size 12, and I changed it to the size I would use in
my designs. And it worked. Then I changed the file to the format I would use
for my designs. I then wanted to change the font size again - and boom! It was
completely destroyed.
For example: I wrote "Kleine Villa" in Calibri. I then changed the font size
from 12pt. to 120pt. And there is no "Kleine Villa" anymore. Now there is:
"Kleine Villa" - but not visible. It is exchanged with signs like "H~~ÒÒ~N
IJÒ~O~OM" and it looks completely crazy.
Also, it does not relate to the settings of the formatted paragraph.
I tried to produce a .pdf-file from this "text" - and I could read "Kleine
Villa" again in the .pdf-file. But this time with uneven character spacing!
I then detected, that any change in font size bigger or smaller, in any
document format (A4 or custom), using any font (Arial Black or Calibri, or
Liberation Sans, etc.), produces weird charakters and non-usable words.
Therefore, please, again, help me!
So, I can not work with it anymore. Please, please, please, help me!
Important Note: It must be a DISPLAY ERROR. When I copied the exchanged
letters/characters to this text here, It perfectly wrote the right text.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write in any font, e.g. Calibri in regular document's font size
2. Change the font size, e.g. to 180pt. or to 220pt.
3. optional: Change the font size again, e.g. to 20pt.
4. latest at this point you can see the totally wrong letters/characters
optional:
4. create a .pdf-file from that view
5. view the .pdf-file and see the odd / uneven character spacing
Actual Results:
After I changed the font size (as described above) there is: "Kleine Villa" -
but not visible. It is exchanged with signs like "H~~ÒÒ~N IJÒ~O~OM" and it
looks completely crazy.
Expected Results:
It is obvious: Not change the font, not change the character spacing! It should
remain regular - also in the display!
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
