Bug ID: 105992
Summary: FORMATTING: Writer doesn't use kerning information of
Times New Roman anymore
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.3.0.3 release
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: tob...@schula.org
Description:
Starting in Version 5.3, Writer doesn't use the kerning information of Times
New Roman anymore. So opening old documents results in changed line breaks,
changed paragraph breaks and changed page breaks. I'm on Linux and are using
the font from the MS Core Fonts for the Web, hence version 2.82 from 2000, so
they're quite old. Is this a side effect of the new layout engine?
It used to work in versions prior to 5.3, it's also showing this behavior when
running the windows version of 5.3 in wine. Furthermore the font is no longer
metrically compatible to Liberation Serif and Tinos anymore, but only in
Libreoffice. Other programs like Firefox still show all the kerning pairs.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install LibreOffice 5.3
2. Install MS Core Fonts
3. Type Text in Writer
Actual Results:
There is no kerning in pairs like Vo, Te, Av, etc.
Expected Results:
Kerning should be used like in versions prior to 5.3
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/51.0
