If it is a problem with freetype, then why do the fonts look fine in the version of OpenOffice downloaded from OpenOffice.org? The original version of OpenOffice works, the Ubuntu-modified version does not. That suggests that Ubuntu modified something in OpenOffice to make it not work. -- OpenOffice does not render fonts correctly in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256058 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 256058] Re: OpenOffice does not render fonts correctly in Hardy
I have the same issue with Openoffice 2.4, Hardy 8.4.0.1, on a thinkpad T60 and three workstations based on various asus M2N boards (nvidia geforce4, nforce 430 chipset drivers). Some help with this would be great. These workstations are not usable for academic work with fonts like this, and I'm trying to convince the head of school to trial Ubuntu in one of our labs. For test purposes, I installed both openSUSE 11.0 (gnome) and Fedora 9.0 on all four of these test machines and the problem does not occur on any of them, only Ubuntu Hardy 8.04. Are freetype or other libraries modified for Ubuntu? Could one of them have the bug? -- OpenOffice does not render fonts correctly in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256058 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 256058] Re: OpenOffice does not render fonts correctly in Hardy
Surely this must be considered a serious bug. The flagship open source word processor doesn't work properly on Hardy. This precludes the use of Hardy for any kind of office use or serious work, or at least makes Ubuntu look inferior to anyone who attempts to use it. -- OpenOffice does not render fonts correctly in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256058 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have this same problem-- this has to be some sort of priority, as I'm sure that many people need these fonts.

Any movement on this?

For me the font themselves looks a bit different.

They are both Times New Roman. I have the same results on my laptop and desktop computers as well.
