Description nicocarbone@gmail.com 2021-10-09 13:41:47 UTC
Description:
I use libreoffice on 1080p screens under Ubuntu 21.04 (snap version). The hinting of fonts at 100% zoom in this resolution is not ideal. 

See this screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M5p5angQO9sB_AuPB7X9ejP2ZemfV8wk/view?usp=sharing
The space between "r" and "e", between "i" and "m", and between "p" and "t" are some examples where the space between fonts is too small.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Libreoffice Writer or any other
2.Make sure you are on a 1080p screen and at 100% zoom level
3.Write something

Actual Results:
The hinting between fonts is inhomogeneous

Expected Results:
The hinting should be more uniform


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Please, could you try a not snap version ?

I attach a screenshot with the .deb: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sJ07C_u_9zlH4AT_7C9K6ly-UyBzJIk7/view?usp=sharing

The results are different, I don't know why. But the hinting is still wrong. Look, for example, between "r" and "o"; "s" and "e".
