[Ubuntustudio-bugs] [Bug 1769654] Re: Ubuntu 18.04 embedded fonts Liberation have corrupted metrics

[Scott Cowles Jacobs]

I am using LibreOffice-Writer 1:6.0.3-0ubuntu1 on Lubuntu Next 18.04, and found 
when opening a previously-created document, that the pages did not line up.
Searching for LO-W bugs that referenced line-spacing, eventually led me to the 
original reporter's bug, and then to the debian bug report that you list in 
comment #5:
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=898116)
where they reported that the bug had been:
"Fixed in version fonts-liberation/1:1.07.4-6"
The version I had was 1:1.07.4-5, just as the original reporter.

So, I snagged the "cosmic" package* (not yet available for "bionic")
and tried it, and it definitely solves my problem.

*see: https://packages.ubuntu.com/cosmic/all/fonts-liberation/download
and (probably) follow the advice at the top: add the deb line to your
repository list (selecting an appropriate URI mirror site for your area).

I suppose that it will be available for bionic, soon, but needed it
sooner...

  Ubuntu 18.04 embedded fonts Liberation have corrupted metrics

Bug description:
  Ubuntu/Xubuntu 18.04 package includes fonts "Liberation Sans" (etc
  "Liberation") with sligtly shrinked font metrics. This issue leads to
  all office documents typed in Liberation Sans fonts have corrupted
  formatting in Ubuntu 18.04 (but these documents correctly opened in
  other OS's, for example Ubuntu 17.10). Documents with corrupted
  formatting can not print properly: all paragraphs are shifted up,
  embedded tables in text - splitted on page breaks. Document
  circulation in system based on Ubuntu 18.04 operating systems
  temporarily paralized, because Liberation fonts are basic fonts for
  open-source document circulation.

  In attachment I have type a example office document with 2 pages and
  enumerated strings. On normal ordinary conditions this document have
  54 strings on first page and 54 string on second page. But if this
  document open in Ubuntu 18.04, it's found than 5 strings from second
  page moves to first page. Compare font versions embedded with Ubuntu
  packages we can see that versions are different (sudo apr search
  fonts-liberation* command):

  Ubuntu 17.10 - 1:1.07.4-2, 2.00.1-3
  Ubuntu 18.04 - 1:1.07.4-5, 2.00.1-5

  I have create a bug 117411 "Font metrics slightly changed after update
  OS to Ubuntu 18.04", see
  https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117411, but I
  think that this bug concerns a Ubuntu/Xubuntu 18.04 package.

[Ubuntustudio-bugs] [Bug 1687506] [NEW] When first started, GIMP's Layer Dock was almost completely off screen to the right

[Scott Cowles Jacobs]

Public bug reported:

The following bug was reported at:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781803


I just installed the latest Lubuntu (17.04) and installed the latest standard 
GIMP in my repositories (2.8.20-1).
The Layers/Channels/Paths/Undo/Brushes/Patterns/Gradients combined dock ( 
Whew! - is there a shorter name for this initially standard opening combo dock?)
was so far to the right on my screen that I had to snag it with Alt-Drag (see 
screenshot).
I am using the proprietary NVidia 304 package (which I have been automatically 
installing since (so far) Nouveau always manages to crash something I try to 
use;  I have not actually tried it yet with the new Lubuntu, I suppose I ought 
to try one day...), and my monitor is set to a resolution of 1792x1344 (where 
DO they get these wierd coordinates?)
Since GIMP remembers window placement between sessions, and I moved the 
window/dock so that it was entirely visible, this is obviously no longer a 
problem,
but it would look bad for a new user of GIMP, and not everyone knows about 
Alt-Drag to lasso straying windows...

" Michael Schumacher [GIMP developer] "
was curious if this was a Lubuntu- or Ubuntu-only bug, as he had not 
encountered it.

I was going to report it at https://bugs.launchpad.net/lubuntu/+filebug
but the only "Project:"s that one can select are "Lubuntu Artwork", "... 
Software Center",
"... next", "... Tweaks", "LxFind", and "LxScreenshot", in none of whose 
categories GIMP belongs, so I am "ubuntu-bug"ing it here...

If any Ubuntu or Lubuntu users have either experienced this, or want to install 
it and see if
it happens for them, Michael and I (and probably others) would be interested in 
knowing about it.
