Bug ID: 154579
Summary: Inconsistent character spacing between Writer and
Impress
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.2.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
In Impress 7.5, it is now possible to get negative character spacing with large
values. This could be used to get aligned subscript n and superscript m like in
LaTeX formula x_n^m.
But in Writer, negative character spacing does not work the same. Though a
negative spacing of -20pt can be specified, it is not applied (see
test-char-spacing-writer.odt file), instead a small negative spacing seems to
be applied.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) In Impress, write 'Example', select characters 'am', then Format / Character
/ Position and set Character spacing to -20 pt. Observe that the 'a' and 'm'
are superposed, as expected.
2) Do the same as 1) in Writer. Observe that the 'a' and 'm' are not
superposed.
The files test-char-spacing-writer.odt and test-char-spacing-impress.odt show
the problem.
Tested with a fresh profile.
