--- Comment #34 from Camaleón <noela...@gmail.com> --- Just adding more information on this. To recap, after digging a bit more, the current situation is: - Computer 1. Debian testing / Cairo 1.18 / LibreOffice 24.2 (bad font render) / LibreOffice 7.6 (bad font render) - Computer 2. Debian stable / Cairo 1.16 / LibreOffice 24.2 (good font render) / LibreOffice 7.6 (good font render) So, IIRC, in Computer 1 _there was a time_ LO was rendering fonts fine, until I installed 24.2 (devel) where this issue with fonts hinting started. But in the meantime, Computer 1 it also upgraded the Cairo version (from 1.16 to 1.18) as logs shows: testing@netbook:~/Escritorio$ zgrep libcairo2 /var/log/dpkg.log.* | grep -i upgrade /var/log/dpkg.log.1:2024-01-13 09:19:31 upgrade libcairo2:amd64 1.18.0-1 1.18.0-1+b1 /var/log/dpkg.log.5.gz:2023-09-16 09:44:42 upgrade libcairo2:amd64 1.16.0-7 1.17.8-3 /var/log/dpkg.log.5.gz:2023-09-30 11:41:57 upgrade libcairo2:amd64 1.17.8-3 1.18.0-1 Et voilà, it was _not just LO_ what was updated but also Cairo library (I must sorry because I was not aware of this) which seems to trigger the LO font rendering problem when anti aliasing is disabled system wide. So the question is now: - What kind of change has been implemented in Cairo that makes LO render fonts so badly when anti-aliasing is turned off? And how can it be avoided and return LO its fine and crispy font strokes? - Why other programs (eg., XFCE itself, Firefox, Thunderbird...) seem unaffected to the Cairo change? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
