Regina Henschel committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/a834bbad8295cba0ca88a91a524aad48640271ec tdf#153246 VML export write adj attribute for Fontwork It will be available in 7.6.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
The bug is fixed for the special case of preset Fontwork shapes. Prior to extending the fix to other preset shapes, bug 153296 needs to be solved. For other preset shapes the VML export is only a Fallback for MS Office versions older than 2010 and therefore has a low priority.
