This problem is unresolved as of February 2013. The solution to this problem is easy: Ubutnu should include Linux Libertine G instead of Linux Libertine O as the default package.

On screen everthing looks nice, but on printout the distances between the letters are completly distored. The printout is hard to read and looks ugly. I've seen this on all our machines (at the moment 7) where Ubuntu 12.04 is installed. Printer is always a Brother MFC 8640N Older Ubuntu releases e.g. 10.04 and 11.10 (with older Libreoffice, OpenOffice and Linux Libertine, ) print as they should, as did every Ubuntu release in the past. Solution is to use the Linux Libertine G variant from here http://www.numbertext.org/linux/index.html. Which is a 'graphite' version of Linux Libertine. Now printings of Linuxlibertine are fine again. It looks like Libreoffice 3.5.x uses the graphite engine with Linux Libertine, regardless if the font is fittet for graphite or not. --- ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu13 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Beta amd64 (20120421) Package: libreoffice 1:3.5.4-0ubuntu1.1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-31.50-generic 3.2.28 Tags: precise running-unity Uname: Linux 3.2.0-31-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1018069/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
