I saw that this bug expired because of inactivity. Indeed I have not checked it for a while. I do however have an update, if that might be relevant:
I managed to install the new bios. It did not solve my issue, from time to time I still have the weird font display problems I described. The output of the command Cristopher specified on 29-09-2015 is: GPET65WW (1.65 ) 06/26/2015 In addition: I have also upgraded to Ubuntu 15.10. That did not change anything either. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, 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 Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: 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 you need additional information, please let me know, I will be happy to provide.
