Priority: medium
Bug ID: 73370
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: Spacing of words containing ligatures break up -
regression?
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: zrlas...@yahoo.com
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.1.4.2 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description: When formatting words containing ligatures with the Linux
Libertine G font and any style other than normal, ligatures shift to the left
or right touching or overlapping the neighboring characters.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a Writer document
2. Type any word containing ligatures such as ffi, fj, gy, fi, etc. Ligatures
should be preceded by at least one character! Sample text: "afia maffia ifja
shaggy agy"
3. Format the text with the Linux Libertine G font. Change style to italic,
bold or bold italic. See what happens.
Current behavior: changing the font style to italic, bold or bold italic will
break up the even spacing of characters inside a word - it will move the
ligature horizontally to the left or right related to their expected position.
Expected behavior: ligatures should not affect horizontal character spacing
inside a word at all, regardless of their style. It worked before (no such
problems since 3.4.0 until now), so I consider it a REGRESSION. Linux Libertine
is one of the best looking fonts shipped with LibO having the most OpenType and
Graphite features much needed in many environments, therefore severity is at
least normal or more than that.
