[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1448937] Re: LibreOffice has serious kerning issues with characters' display of font, bold, italic
Hi Chris, in my experience it can literally happen to any document I use in LO. So even a new document I just started with only default formatting. So if there's any consistency in it, then it probably has to do with my system configuration or the way my system creates document and then interacts with my graphics driver. So I attached an example .odp-slide that I use regularly to maybe give you a clue. Any suggestion / help is welcome. Again: I do realise that this is becoming quite a particular bug (hard to reproduce, potentially related to my system configuration). So I understand if you want to give up on it at any point. ** Attachment added: "Document that I use often that regularly gives problems. However, note that problems can occur with *any* LO-document I use, even new ones with only text in default formatting." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1448937/+attachment/4537816/+files/BrokenDocument.odp -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1448937 Title: LibreOffice has serious kerning issues with characters' display of font, bold, italic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1448937/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1448937] Re: LibreOffice has serious kerning issues with characters' display of font, bold, italic
Unfortunately, that's exactly the issue: the display / kerning problems are not connected to a specific document. It can happen to any LO- document, but it does not always happen. So I can not do an apple-apple test in that way. That's the annoying part of the whole thing: it happens often enough to make it annoying, but not in a reproducible enough way to test /solve it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1448937 Title: LibreOffice has serious kerning issues with characters' display of font, bold, italic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1448937/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1448937] Re: LibreOffice has serious kerning issues with characters' display of font, bold, italic
[Continuation of previous post, I can't seem to edit] Two things: 1. The graphical output of LO was nearly faultless. Errors I normally have in displayed properties like bold / italic / font were not there. However I did experience a full loss of display of some characters at a certain high zoom level. See the attachment of previous post. In both cases, there needs to be a "j" in the void after the "i" characters. Other zoom levels did display the "j". (The problem was not limited to j's; other characters also disappeared sometimes.) So my experience was not without display problems, but different ones than I have on my regular system. 2. I can not be really sure of the results as I have no set way of reproducing the problem on my regular system. In my test with the LiveCD I opened a lot of different LO documents in different apps as I know that to be a risk factor. However, I only tried this for about 10 minutes, which could be to little. So I am not sure whether my bug will be solved automatically in upcoming Ubuntu installs. I leave it to you whether you still see this as a bug that needs attention or that you find it to vague to act upon. If you need anything from me, let me know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1448937 Title: LibreOffice has serious kerning issues with characters' display of font, bold, italic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1448937/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1448937] Re: LibreOffice has serious kerning issues with characters' display of font, bold, italic
Hi Chris, no it does not. It can happen with any document in Impress or Writer. I must say I have not seen it in Calc recently, although I did before. It can be old, big, rich, often-saved documents, but also a fresh document I just started typing in. Unfortunately, I don't have a clear way of reproducing it. It usually happens only after I have been working with the LO-apps for a while (say 10 - 30 mins), not often directly from the start of using them. Risk factors seem to include having multiple LO-files open, especially between different apps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1448937 Title: LibreOffice has serious kerning issues with characters' display of font, bold, italic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1448937/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1448937] Re: LibreOffice has serious kerning issues with characters' display of font, bold, italic
Hi Chris, I am interested to see if the bios update could solve the kerning issues. However, I have unfortunately not succeeded updating the bios. I have read the three suggested modes of doing so on the wiki, but am unable to perform any of them. The first: I can't get the .iso on an USB drive. Not through Ubuntu (Startup Disk Creator) nor Windows (Rufus). In Windows it says the .iso is unbootable. The second: I can't run the Windows .exe, since I don't have a dual boot system. The third: further information on the ThinkVantage option is not available on the wiki page. I understand that you are not here to solve my bios update issues, but should you have a suggestion, let me know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1448937 Title: LibreOffice has serious kerning issues with characters' display of font, bold, italic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1448937/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1448937] Re: LibreOffice has serious kerning issues with characters' display of font, bold, italic
apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected compiz-0.9 trusty ubuntu ** Description changed: I run in to distorted text in LibreOffice, depending on zoom level. At first I thought it was a LO-bug, but now I have found that I don't get this issues when I run the AMD proprietary driver (fglrx). So I think it might be a problem in the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver. I have a Radeon HD 8600M series in a Lenovo S540. The attached file shows an example of the bug that I had in Calc. The bottom right is the 'normal' text. Three lines, with the bottom one in bold. Depending on the zoom level, the text is distorted in many ways: bold / italic / font (appearance). Some extra information: -This happens in all LO-apps I use: Calc, Writer, Impress. -I don't have a clear way of reproducing it. The apps normally start out perfectly fine. After a while this can happen, not always. Risk factors seem to include having multiple LO-files open, especially between different apps. -It is not always that the 100% zoom level is ok. That can be distorted too. -This never ever happens in any other app / program I use. If this is unlikely to be caused by the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver, I apologize for reporting it here.

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.
