Description Frank Brütting 2016-10-12 11:11:49 UTC 
Description:
The standard TOC places dots between the heading and the page number, but these aren't placed with equal distance. So there are some overlapping dots the space in between these isn't equal in general. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create some headings
2. Insert a TOC

Actual Results:  
Non-uniform distance between dots.

Expected Results:
Unifor distance between dots.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

I see no "Non-uniform distance between dots." Can you please add an example document and a screenshot of the TOC, where you mark the problem?

Sorry for the delay, here are the files. Appeared also in 5.2.5.1. I'm running Fedora 25.

This just happens to older documents, as far as I tried out. When I create a new file with a TOC, the dots are aligned well. But I don't know if the TOC will get corrupted at some point, or if it's due to the TOC being created not right at the beginning (time-related) of the document.

Still happens with the current Flatpak release.

Ok, I tracked it down to just appearing with Linux-Libertine fonts (also Biolinum). Setting paragraph template “TOC 1” to Liberation, displays the dots correctly – setting it back to a Libertine font, leads to this uneven spacing.

it seems to be a problem in the font, not in LibreOffice. Please see the attached screenshot. Closing as RESOLVED NOTOURBUG
