Bug#495738: abiword: Garbled text

2008-12-13 Thread BlueSloth
The fonts that caused the problem aren't in the font selector lists of
abiword and Inkscape anymore, except for Times New Roman, which works
now.  I don't know which update of which package did it, but I guess
I'll call this bug fixed.

Bug#495738: abiword: Garbled text

2008-08-25 Thread Lorenzo Breda
I have the same problem, with a lot of fonts. Expecially with Microsoft
ones, it is so annoying when I read files made with MS Office.

Bug#495738: abiword: Garbled text

2008-08-20 Thread BlueSloth
Package: abiword
Version: 2.6.4-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

All the text in a document is garbled and unreadable.

Hmm.. upon further inspection it looks like it's not so much garbled as mashed 
together.  Abiword appears to expect the characters to render about 5 times 
smaller than they actually are, and so isn't giving them enough space.  The 
cursor is very small, and only the lower part of a character disappears when I 
delete it.

Changing the font, font size, zoom level, and paragraph spacing settings don't 
help.

The sample text in the font selection dialog renders perfectly.  The text in 
the Paragraph dialog is smushed together vertically, but not horizontally.

Bug#495738: abiword: Garbled text

2008-08-20 Thread Joshua Kwan
severity 495738 normal
thanks

I haven't seen this and many people that use abiword obviously haven't
either or else I would have been inundated with bug reports. I suggest
you try creating a new user and see if the problem recurs just in case
it has something to do with fontconfig, or your particular window
manager setup.

For now I'm setting the severity to normal. If you can give a
top-to-bottom method for reproducing this bug (considering I can't right
now), I will look in to it and adjust the severity again as required.

Bug#495738: abiword: Garbled text

2008-08-20 Thread BlueSloth
This doesn't seem to be an abiword bug after all.  Sorry.

I tried every font in the list, and half of them worked.  The ones that
don't are fonts that Inkscape won't even try to use.  When I select one
it uses Sans instead.

It doesn't work any better in a different window manager (twm) as a new
user.

gedit and gvim don't seem to have a problem with any fonts.
