forum-mso-en-18077_smartJustify.zip: DOCX file, PDFs and overlay images
I ran across this justified document that seems to be fairly simple - just
using the Times New Roman font. However, our justification (as of 25.8 master)
doesn't match the output I got from MS Word. The smart justify seemed to get
worse results starting in 24.8.
During my bibisect, I focused on the first paragraph of the second page. In MS
Word it ends with the single word "Soissons." in a line on its own - but in LO
it easily fits on the previous line
starting with 24.8 commit 36bfc86e27fa03ee16f87819549ab126c5a68cac

In my PDF comparison, both MS Word 2019 and LO bibisect were running on the
same windows machine, so both used the identical Times New Roman font version.
(That said, it looks quite different with MS Word 2010 on a different windows
box, so it sounds like a bit of a moving target...)
Marking as low priority, since this is mainly just submitted for information
and not really as a concerned bug report.
To understand the contents of the PNG files:
- the most useful overlays are prev-import (24.8 oldest) and import (24.8.6)
where RED=MS Word 2019 and grayscale is LO.
- the import-compare and export-compare overlays didn't need to be included. In
these overlays, RED=24.8.6, BLUE=24.8oldest, and grayscale is MSO - so any red
showing suggests a regression.
