An update, for anyone who may be following this thread, or stumbling on it down the track. I found that fiddling with the screen orientation using KDE's 'System Settings'->'Display and Monitor'->'Size and Orientation' made the problem go away, even if I changed the settings back to what they were before.

I don't have the time or inclination to work out just why this worked, but it might provide a lead for someone else.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Cheers, Jonathan

Hello,

For some time I've found that libreoffice (and openoffice before it) had
trouble rendering text with the Linux open 'nouveau' (as opposed to the
proprietary NVIDIA) driver. What appears to happen is that everything
above a certain point is good, but below it the text simply doesn't
appear. I've not seen any other application that has the same problem.

I've attached a typical screenshot to demonstrate the effect.

It always helps if you: 1) tell others what version of LO you are having
issues with (and also if it is from LO or some other source; linux
distribution repository or PPA, etc), 2) what OS type and  version
(there are about thousands of versions of linux). My /guess/ is that you
are running some form of Ubuntu, if correct please tell us which version
you are running.
