Bug ID: 444517 Summary: Font preview kerning is broken Product: systemsettings Version: 5.23.2 Platform: Neon Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: kcm_fontinst Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org Reporter: xnagyti...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 142957 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=142957&action=edit Screenshot SUMMARY The preview panel at the Font Management KCM doesn't properly kern its preview text. This makes the preview text look slightly crooked. I attached a screenshot that compares this preview with an another KDE app (Krita) that does proper kerning just for reference. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Get Liberation Sans from your package manager. Also reproducible with other well-kerned fonts like Bitstream Vera Sans, DejaVu Sans, Noto Sans, Ubuntu font, etc. 2. Open Font Management and select Liberation Sans. 3. Right click the preview -> Change Preview Text... 4. Enter "VAVA" as the preview text -> OK. 5. Notice how the negative kerning offsets are not applied between the "V" and "A" characters. Liberation Sans defines a -152 unit offset at 2048 units/em resolution between these character pairs.
