--- Comment #8 from kde-user <[email protected]> --- Thank you for answering. As I described: "On a MX Linux KDE, which I installed myself testwise in the VM, with an Appimage version of LO (7.5.4-2) running there, I could not reproduce the problem." It's also a Debian based Distro. But I have also tested EndeavourOS and CachyOS alongside Manjaro and there the same issue shows up. So you can say that the problem occurs with probably all Archlinux (KDE) based distributions, if you apply it as described by me above (Steps to reproduce). You asked: "What do other (KDE/Qt and Gtk) apps look like for you? Do they behave as you'd expect/want?" Yes, they do. At least in most cases! E.g. in the Manjaro system settings the font looks nice and evenly slim and smooth. Or even in Firefox (where I also have Verdana selected as the default font). In Thunderbird, however, the font of incoming emails looks similarly "tattered". But not the subjects, just the actual email text . Strangely enough, email text that I write then looks as expected again. You asked: "Is there any specific reason why you have exactly those settings as specified applied?" Well, because with exactly these settings I get the slim and to me sharp looking font shown in the screenshots above (of course I mean the font as it looked BEFORE the LibreOffice update!). Fonts with anti-aliasing enabled look bold and blurry to me. Readability is more difficult and tiring for me. You asked: "Also, can you please paste the exact information from "Help" > "About LibreOffice"?" You mean from a version after the update, with the bad font rendering now? Attached is a screenshot of a LO version in VirtualBox. (On my main PC I am currently using the current Flatpak version, where the problem fortunately does not (yet) exist. However, the Flatpak version has some disadvantages, so I would rather use the version from the official repositories, but to explain that would be offtopic here). You asked: "Does it look different/better when you set environment variable SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3 before you start LibreOffice?" Um, I just tried that ... there's still an "export" on the front, so like that: #export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3 So I took away the # and saved it, then to be on the safe side I did a system restart and then restarted LO - unfortunately without improvement! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
