Description ogb1966 2018-02-23 13:54:24 UTC
Description:
When I used the new version to generate a PDF from a Writer document all characters in formulas created with the formula editor were stacked together.
I this on several documents that I know worked fine on previous version and I got the same result.
In addition when I rolled back to 5.4 everything was corrected. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a document (specifically was a rtf document). 
2. Insert some formulas with formula editor.
3. Create PDF or Print as PDF.

Actual Results:  
Formulas are distorted in PDF.

Expected Results:
Readable formulas


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Confirmed regression of the sm formula OLE objects are correct on canvas, but are malformed and misplaced when exported to PDF or with gs print to PDF.

sw: Use primitive renderer for graphics
To allow using the prepared VectorData of imported
Metafiles (and EMF+), let Writer use a Primitive
Renderer for Graphic output. For now, use a temp
PrimitiveRenderer (until sw is fully adapted to
primitives).

Comment 17 ogb1966 2019-10-29 16:37:20 UTC
I wanted to test it on 6.3.4 daily as suggested but I'm on Windows and I think there isn't a build for it. 
I would be glad to test it if a Windows 64 install will be available.

Anyway I don't know if the patch is in 6.4 alpha but it installed it and the problem still existes on this version.
Thanks.
