Can you attach a screenshot of it when it looks fuzzy to you so I can see if I am able to properly reproduce the problem? ** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New ** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- Font becomes fuzzy in presentation mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Four samples getting attached. First two are from Ubuntu 9.04 which works properly. Second two will be from 10.04 where the error shows up ONLY in presentation mode.

[Bug 585910] Re: Font becomes fuzzy in presentation mode
I can confirm your issue with a font from the ubuntu repositories (your example file doesn't work without having your font installed), the font I used is "GFS Theokritos" from the ttf-gfs-theokritos package. The problem seems to be that the font does not have a bold version, Openoffice is trying to create a bold font from the regular font itself (which typically does not lead to a nice results). Still this "getting fussy" should obivously not happen. Could you check whether your "Technical" font has a native bold version?

There is an upstream bug report which seems to be about the same issue (although it mentions a Japanese font, the respective font does not have a native bold version as well). ** Bug watch added: Novell/SUSE Bugzilla #594111 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=594111 ** Also affects: openoffice via https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=594111 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- Font becomes fuzzy in presentation mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 585910] Re: Font becomes fuzzy in presentation mode
Greetings Marcel- The place I got that font from years ago had only a Normal and Italic version. Thus the two .ttf files I keep in my "hip pocket" and install various places. The older version that came with Ubuntu 9.04 was handling bolding the normal font correctly. The version with Ubuntu 10.04 guesses wrong somehow. In my mind, just "undo" that one downgrade in the newer version. ;-) (If life were so simple, hua?!) -- Font becomes fuzzy in presentation mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 585910] Re: Font becomes fuzzy in presentation mode
Hi Michael. Hopefully I did not give the impression that this "getting fuzzy" is acceptable for fonts without a bold variant. It's ok for programs like Scribus, meant to produce professional print output, to not artificially bolden these fonts at all - but impress should definitely do this in a reasonable way. And as you reported, it was able to do it in previous versions :-) I overlooked it before, but the upstream bug report mentions that this problem only occurs when hardware acceleration is enabled in the openoffice options dialog. I can't test this right now - could you try whether this workaround, well, works? -- Font becomes fuzzy in presentation mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 585910] Re: Font becomes fuzzy in presentation mode
Woo hoo!!! That indeed is a work-around! Great, I will be doing a presentation shortly, and will get to use Impress rather than Acrobat.
