Hi :)  
It might be a graphics-driver issue.  It sounds like the problem only occurs at 
certain levels of zoom on certain screen-resolutions.  I'd take the Tommy 
Cooper approach and just avoid those combinations.  You know it is displaying 
properly on other people's machines so the only person it's annoying is you.  
Your documents are fine.  

Given the poor support for most graphic card from most manufacturers i would 
probably avoid trying to fix this issue because i've often found that trying to 
fix that sort of thing breaks the whole system to a point where i have to 
reinstall the whole OS.  That is probably due my low level of skill on the 
command-line.  

If you really want to try to fix it by trying out other drivers than i 
recommend setting up a new partition and installing the same OS onto that and 
experiment with that one.  Also use the openSUSE forums and documentation to 
try to avoid too much pain.  Once you find the answer you will be able to use 
that answer on the main system you rely on to work.  However, like i said, for 
something like this i really would bother.  If it was breaking my movie 
watching or game playing then i might make more of an effort to fix it.  For 
occasional problems in some word-processed documents i would just work-around 
by zooming in or out a bit.  

Intel, AMD and NVidea often seem to be competing for last place for their 
support of Gnu&Linux although that has changed a bit in the last few years.  
Intel seem to have won last place until very recently.  I lost track about a 
year ago as everything magically started working on my system.  

Apols and regards from 
Tom :)

The text prints out correctly. It also looked OK when I opened the document
in MS Office on Windows.
I'm having the same display problem with both my screens.

In these days when trying to save the environment and use less paper it is
important to have a document that looks OK on the screen. Though it is only
in LibreOffice this happens. When I export the document to PDF it looks
normal. However it should also look normal when editing the document.

I am using LibreOffice 4.0:build-304 (Bygg-ID: 400m0(Build:304)) 
Running OpenSuse 12.3 with KDE 4.10.4. Installed LibreOffice from Opensuse
LibreOffice repository.

The document scale i 100%. If I choose a higher scale it looks normal.


Windows used to be terrible about this kind of stuff.  The culprit

I have seen this before with some fonts.

Is it bold on the screen and "proper" printed out, or bold on both the 
screen and print?

Update. The font was actually "URW Bookman L"

These screenshots shows a comparison between that font and "Bookman Old
