Description documentfoundation.4dxvk 2024-05-17 08:59:36 UTC

Description:
When using LibreOffice 6 or other word processor kanji characters from a given document are displayed correctly.
Opening the same document on LibreOffice 7 and above each kanji is rendered with an extra spacing on the left.
The issue is not there when creating a new document.
Happen on Windows and Linux.

I don't know how to produce this issue from scratch.
I will attach a document with this issue.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open the sample.doc document on LibreOffice 7 or 24 that is attached.

Actual Results:
Japanese characters have a right spacing even if I set the character spacing to 0.

Expected Results:
No huge spacing between the kanjis characters.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
It was not happening on LibreOffice 6.
It is not happening in other word processor (OpenOffice, Word).
