------- Additional comments from alfay...@openoffice.org Mon Sep 21 09:52:18 +0000 2009 ------- In OpenOffice 2.3, you write something using a monospaced font that is installed with the application (Bitstream Vera Mono, in this case). When you open the file with OpenOffice 3.1, the first time the document is displayed ok, but when you open it again, the text written with this font looks all compressed (see the attached image) like there was a problem with the kerning. Same thing happens if you use OpenOffice 3.1 with DejaVu Sans Mono and the try to open it with OpenOffice 2.3 I mention Oo 3.1.0 and 2.3.0 because these are the versions in which I tracked the problem, but I guess this would happen with any other two versions that use a different default font (Bitstream Vera was the default font installed until Oo 3, in which is DejaVu). By the way, this only happens in Windows (I cheked it out in Linux and it was ok) and with the monospaced versions of the fonts. No surprise, since I think it's related to font sustitution and these fonts are common in Linux but not in Windows. Anyway, if you select the text and change the font, it's displayed ok again. Same thing if you close the quick start icon and open the file again. Also if you enable WebLayout view, the text is clearly displayed again. Anyhow I think that's NOT the infamous "Print Layout" vs. "Web Layout" issue, since the first time you open the document is displayed well in both views, so it's related to, but there must be something else involved. Some people may think this is a trivial error, but if you need to work with different systems (Linux/Windows) and different people, you think that using a font installed with Oo it's format-safe but sooner or later, someone finds that Oo has "ruined" part of the text, and althougt the solution may be simple, it's not obvious at all, and anyway, that's not how Oo is expected to work. Thanks for your attention.
