The bug affects the Calc as well
The bug affects not only the Writer, but also the Calc and the Draw.
1. Start LO Calc
2. Change font to Times New Roman
3. Set size to 256 (for better display)
4. Type letters WA
5. Select either of the letters and change its Language parameter (in the Format->Character dialog)
The kerning is now gone.
Confirmed with document and font. Khaled: what might be going on? AFAIK, this has always been broken, see bug 61444. I didn’t even know it worked on Windows. Ok, sorry, I assumed it was due to the changes in 5.3.. closing. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 61444 *** Well, I do not want to be rude, but this is kinda strange to me. Apparently it WORKED in LO 5.2 and got BROKEN in LO 5.3, and you are saying that it is an old bug (like from 4 year ago)? I'm even sure it worked as expected in 2013 (at least in Windows) - whichever LO release was at that time - because I have a screenshot of my test document dated June 19, 2013 and everything is okay (that means the kerning is applied between characters of different colors). You may have a look at it - https://boardgamegeek.com/image/1697334/m-knox?size=original No, he said he didn't know it worked on Windows. Now that we have unified text rendering across platforms, we have unifiedly broken kerning. |
