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.
