Public bug reported:
I've thought from the early days of Open Office, that Writer could be
improved in the rendering of fonts, specifically in the character
spacing. I have a screen shot of some text that illustrates the problem.
I have underlined the word "Trust". It can be seen that the "r" is too
close to the "u" and too far from the "t". It looks fine when it prints.
Note the zoom is 100% and the font is Times New Roman 12. I have done
nothing to configure kerning or change the character spacing. The
problem persists even if I zoom in to 600%.
Note, I was thinking that I was reporting the bug to LibreOffice
developers when I picked the menu option from Writer to "Report a
Problem". I see this is going into Ubuntu. I hope that it gets to the LO
folks.
