Blurred screen fonts?
Somewhere there should be a section in the Control Panel for choosing
the best looking "display style" for fonts on you version of Windows. If
memory is correct, you usually get 4 choices for your best viewing.

To be honest, I have had no "blurred fonts" with all my different
systems, over the years, using Vista through Windows 10. Of course, if I
could not install Win7 on a Win XP system, it got a distro of Linux,
usually a Ubuntu based one, installed to help keep its OS "more modern".
I tend to use Linux Mint and Ubuntu - both with MATE for its desktop
environment.

Just for a check-see, why don't you download and run the live CD/DVD of
Ubuntu or Linux Mint. See of the live testing, which will not install
the OS on your system unless you ask it to within the test cycle. Since
you seem to indicate you have tried this method, and you still not
getting results.

IF your display[s] are still blurred after testing live CD/DVD version
of Linux on your hardware, then you may need to look into either
hardware issues, monitor issues, or even have your eyes checked. I had
to get trifocals, instead of keeping bifocals, the last time I got
glasses so it would be much easier to read/see my monitors.

SO, if you are getting quote " of displaying clear, distinct images
(graphics, characters .. everything) ", you really need to think more
about either you systems' hardware or your eyes. My eyes were the
problem a few years ago, and went away with my new glasses.


On a different note . . .

To be honest, the Live CD/DVD testing of the package is what help me
decide which distro to use on my first "proper" laptop. Only Ubuntu 9.3
would would with my laptop's sound "chip" during the live disc testing.
The rest did not allow the sound to work at all. Since then, I have had
at least one Linux system running nearly 24/7 and since version
9.10/10.3, it has been my default OS. Actually I have in my place a
Linux system, of various distros, since 2004 or 2005. I just did not use
it often.

A similar graph, with similar squares in Calc has "shadows" around 2 of

Since the display is made of little squares anyway, what exactly is the
advantage of having the display blurred???


Well, I try to make it quick
1)My eyes - after decades of staring at stupid computer screens - 
are bad, but NOT! the issue here.
I could provide pictures (not screenshots) of the blurred 
display. That is not something I imagine.
In the example I described first: why does a square have to 
have a shadow around its edge???
2)My hardware is fine (I use expensive monitors); Lotus123 producing 
clear images proves that.
3)I do use/have 3 different Windows versions AND 4 different Linux 
(ubuntu based) flavors installed.

The latter are only marginally better.
4)Windows settings: I spent dozens of hours searching the net for 
solutions and tried just about EVERYTHING that can be found.

Even editing the registry to change the system font!
The technical support staff of the computer maker and other 
computer specialists I have asked have NO ANSWERS.


20 years ago EVERY computer on the planet produced clear images, 
although a little ragged around the edges.
If that was possible decades ago, I fail to see why should be impossible 
today.

Hmm, by a "set of lines" do you mean paragrpahs? Or issues with the spacing
of  lines within a single paragraph?

On 5.0.2 and a current master  I don't see errant behavior if they are lines
within a paragraph. The Line Spacing is honored, and is retained.   Changes
to the paragraph Spacing settings have no impact on the internal lines of a
paragraph.

In other words, the Spacing settings only apply to paragraph objects--not

I do not think it's a ODF standard, should only be a proper behavior of 
LibreOffice.



Paragraphs and Lines of Text (code)  are distinct.  To manipulate Lines
within a Paragraph container--use +, rather than 
paragraph

endings  to terminate a line.


The best advice you can be given. Now the line spacing works well for 
such paragraph.




Then the spacing makes sense...

For Paragraphs -- we use Spacing (above, below, don't space between 
same

style)

For Lines of Text -- we use Line Spacing (single, 1.5, double, fixed,
leading, proportional), they are not affected by the Spacing applied to
Paragraphs.



That's the problem, because if they are affected (LibreOffice 5.0.1.2).

If I have a set of lines with 1.5 of line spacing, and apply the option, 
"Do not add space between paragraphs," the line spacing disappears.

Word count updates automatically whatever - if you highlight the text on 
a single page, the word count at the bottom of the window shows number 
of words on that page

[libreoffice-users] When "not add space between paragraphs of the same style," also removes paragraph line spacing

2015-09-29 Thread Bastián Díaz
I'm writing a master document in LO Writer. When I create a paragraph 
style for commands from a terminal, I select a 2mm spacing above and 
below the paragraph. Being lines of code, I select "not add space 
between paragraphs of the same style" to keep one aspect of cohesive 
paragraph, however, this also eliminates the line spacing for this style 
(which is consistent with the line spacing I use to other paragraphs) .


Is this expected behavior?

I think the paragraph line spacing is independent, and that the option 
"not add space between paragraphs of the same style," should only affect 
the added space above and below the paragraph.
