Bug ID: 153376
Summary: Too Much Line Spacing for Font KJV1611
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.0.3 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: zaak...@protonmail.com
Description:
I just updated LibreOffice to version 7.5.0.3 (from whatever the previous
version was, I don't remember). Previously, the font KJV1611 (by ctrlcctrlv,
downloadable on his github page here: https://github.com/ctrlcctrlv/kjv1611)
displayed without any problems; but since the update, LibreOffice now displays
the font with what looks like double line spacing (even though single line
spacing is selected in the paragraph format). It seems as though LibreOffice
has started thinking the characters in the font are way larger than they
actually are, as when you place the cursor on a line, it far exceeds the height
of any of the characters that you type.
I have not noticed this problem with any other font as of yet. And the only way
around it seems to be to use a fixed or proportianl line spacing (with lowered
values), but I cannot achieve the accurate (original) line spacing with either
of those methods, and they each present other issues (fixed doesn't scale with
font size, and proportional doesn't seem to work well with drop caps).
Currently, this formatting (or viewing?) issue ruins the documents I have been
working on. It could be that the issue lies with the font, but I don't see how,
as it hasn't changed in a couple of years, and was working just fine up till
now.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install the KJV1611 font
(https://github.com/ctrlcctrlv/kjv1611/raw/master/KJV1611.otf)
2.Open LibreOffice Writer and switch font to KJV1611
3.Type a couple of lines of text
Actual Results:
Large amounts of space are placed between lines. The cursor on a line is way
bigger than the text on the same line.
Expected Results:
The KJV1611 font ought to display with regular spacing between lines (as other
fonts). Perceived height (cursor height) ought to match actual height
(character height).
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
