Description schlebe 2020-01-07 08:08:18 UTC 
Description:
I have open a Word document in Libre Office 6.4 RC1 (but the problem exists in previous version) and I observe that what is displayed on LibreOffice is less beautiful that what is displayed on LibreOffice.

I have attached 4 files.
The docx file with some lines and 2 PrintScreen of same file on Word and on LibreOffice.

In this file I have colorized faulty/distinct words in red.

If you open the 2 images files, you can see that for first word that is "suivante", on LibreOffice, the 'i' character is too close from 'v' character ! On Word, the space between 'i' and 'v' is correct !

For the second word that is 'moyenne' AND 'empirique' that 'm' character is not correctly displayed compared to Word !

This bug is perhaps not a bug; but it is a quality problem comparing Word and Libre office.
I communicate this bug because I think that LibreOffice can do something very quickly to improve Writer Quality. I hope simply that this issue is simple to resolve.

I have also installed OpenGL (see PrintScreen in ZIP file)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. read document (see attached file) in Word 2016 or more
2. read document in LibreOffice
3. compare the 2 displays visually has explained in description

Actual Results:
What is displayed in MS-Word is more "professional" that what is displayed in LibreOffice.

Expected Results:
I wait that what is displayed in LibreOffice is as harmonious as what is displayed in Word.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes
