Description: Tilde accents displays sometimes displays like a macron diacritic sign. I realized that many times ã (a tilde) and õ (o tilde) display wrong when I am editing regular documents, for font sizes 12pt and smaller, both regular, italic, bold, bold+italic. There is no apparent reason that triggers the bug. I reproduce this bug in other software, like GNU Emacs, so this may be a bug not on libreoffice, but in a font rendering, but I have no knowledge to forward to correct place. I don't knot what is the font rendering library used. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set font to DejaVu Sans Mono (but it is reproducible with other fonts) 2. Copy/paste the following text on Writer 13 12 11 10.5 10 reg ãõ ãõ ãõ ãõ ãõ it ãõ ãõ ãõ ãõ ãõ b ãõ ãõ ãõ ãõ ãõ b+it ãõ ãõ ãõ ãõ ãõ Set font according to "table" (columns are font sizes, lines are font specs regular, italic, bold, bold+italic) to each group of 2 letters. 3. Ensure magnification 100%. Actual Results: For DejaVu Sans Mono, observe that tildes become macrons exactly for õ r11 i11 ã b12 ãõ bi12 bi11 bi10 Selecting all and changing font change bug reproducion. for example, Liberation Sans change bug to all letters 10pt. Expected Results: Expected that all tilde accents display correctly.

I can't sonfirm this with Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 01837a85004a6f891a09c0a63ed7eff75d634827 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; TinderBox: Win-x86_64@62-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2019-09-01_00:07:05 Locale: en-GB (de_DE); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded It seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice.

Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
The problem persists exactly as before in latest version. I tested the same odt file from attachment 1. I guess that the problem is linux specific, on screen font rendering. Updated my LO to latest as requested.

Peter, unfortunately nothing has happened with this bug report for 6 months. So I'd like to ask, if it is still valid, because a new major release of LibreOffice is available since this bug was reported. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
Dear Miguel Frasson, This bug has been in NEEDINFO status with no change for at least 6 months. Please provide the requested information as soon as possible and mark the bug as UNCONFIRMED. Due to regular bug tracker maintenance, if the bug is still in NEEDINFO status with no change in 30 days the QA team will close the bug as INSUFFICIENTDATA due to lack of needed information. For more information about our NEEDINFO policy please read the wiki located here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/Fields/Status/NEEDINFO If you have already provided the requested information, please mark the bug as UNCONFIRMED so that the QA team knows that the bug is ready to be confirmed. Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone! Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-NeedInfo-Ping
Hi I thought that I responded the NEEDINFO on comment 4, but I didn't change bug status (maybe that was the needed information. Now I change to UNCONFIRMED. To provide a better update, I just tested in Libreoffice Writer 7.0, the bug is still there. I think it need linux to be reproduced. It may be a bug in a display font library. Thanks Miguel.

This is a font hinting issue, either a bug with DeJaVu font itself or FreeType’s autohinter (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/issues/112).
