** Description changed:

  Regression in Saucy Salamander 13.10, worked fine in 13.04 and previous
- releases.
+ releases. Affects LibreOffice Writer. The Nimbus Sans L font rendering
+ and cursor positioning in texts is messed up, the letters look slightly
+ distorted, letter spacing is incorrect with even partially overlapping
+ letters and the cursor positioning in a line of text does not always
+ match the actual editing position. Wrong font rendering also effects PDF
+ files generated with LibreOffice writer in Saucy. Nimbus Sans L font
+ rendering looks fine in kCharSelect. PDFs generated before the update
+ also are not affected and are rendered fine by Okular.
  
- Affects LibreOffice Writer (Other Libre Office modules not tested so
- far.)
+ WORKAROUND: Removing texlive-fonts-recommended fixes the problem.
  
- (At least) Nimbus Sans L font rendering and cursor positioning in texts

- positioning in a line of text does not always match the actual editing
- position.
- 
- Wrong font rendering also effects PDF files generated with LibreOffice
- writer in Saucy.
- 
- Nimbus Sans L font rendering looks fine in kCharSelect.
- 
- PDFs generated before the update also are not affected and are rendered fine 
by Okular.
