Description Gabriela 2017-04-12 14:04:32 UTC
Hi!
Fonts do not look good when I'm working on the document. It only happens in this version. The fonts do not look sharp, it's like they're a little smudged. 

Thanks.

Also, if on Windows -- please identify your Graphics GPU and driver, and if you are using OpenGL or Default rendering. See bug 16990 as this is likely a duplicate.

Hi!
I send the file you asked for. The fonts appear with different thickness.
I don't know if this the information that you request about my Graphics GPU, I hope so: Intel Ivy Bridge-MB - Integrated Graphics Controller.
Thanks for your quick response.
Have a happy day!

OK, so guess that means you are on an Intel CPU with HD2500 GPU and Intel drivers, can you enable the OpenGL rendering on your system?

Also, can not tell from your clip, what Operating system and Desktop environment are you using?

Thanks.

Compare AbiWord and LibreOffice

Hi!

I send you an image, you can see the difference in the fonts of each program.
My SO is Windows 10 Anniversary Update x64.
I have enabled OpenGl in my SO, but when I want to enable "Use OPenGl" in LibreOffice, I have to check "Ignore OpenGl blacklist" because the option is not enabled if not active "Ignore OpenGl blacklist".
Unfortunately, there´s no difference in fonts.
I have used Libreoffice for years and I had not seen something like that.
Thanks for your attention.

OK, you have limited function with OpenGL--your GPU is blacklisted from reliable use.

The font rendering at 5.3.2.2 has been refactored to use Directwrite rather than GDI calls, but our implementation needs refinement.

But your issue is duplicate of bug 106990, and for Impress presentations you will want to follow along with bug 107090 and disable hardware acceleration while presenting.
