Description Tobias Hemm 2017-02-07 13:06:58 UTC
Description:
The spacing of characters/fonts in charts is very irregular and generally far to narrow. Moreover, it is totally different from the spacing of the a "normal" text in Calc or Writer.

Consequently, many words in charts are displayed not very nicely.
Some characters are very close to each other, others have "huge" spaces between each other.
But in general, as you can see in the attached example, everything is spaced (partly far) too narrow.

I use LO for desktop publishing, which is why it would be nice if this would be fixed. At the moment, I work around this issue by placing text fields over the extremely bad spaced words.

Actual Results:  
I think I just created a normal chart.

Expected Results:
The results that I described abouve.


Reproducible: Didn't try

I updated LibreOffice to version 5.3.0.3, and it is much better now.
But there is still a different spacing for text in a text field and text in the chart: Sometimes the text is narrower, sometimes it is wider.
But it is MUCH better.

I think it is strange that this happens, but you could actually leave it like that.

Thanks for your help, Xisco!
