(In reply to Dennis Rice from comment #6) DO NOT use email to reply, rather use the Bugzilla interface. BZ then sends the courtesy email copies to subscribed addresses. Everything you need for corresponding is provided in the BZ. Personal messages are discouraged and considered rude (by wasting peoples time).

Dennis: it's difficult to understand your feedback since you seem to quote previous messages. Please don't respond from your emailer but by going to https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136674# with your browser and put some comment. Now, could you uninstall completely LO and install last stable one 7.0.4 + apply https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FirstSteps ?
Created attachment 168962 [details] Screen Shot of character error on screen I apologize for any confusion that I have made in the past, hopefully the attached screen shot of my LO simple text demonstrates the problem when both bold and italic are added to the text. I have learned that when the text is exported to PDF that all appears correctly. I will upgrade to 7.0.4 as requested. Dennis Rice
Created attachment 168963 [details] Screen Shoot of characters after upgrading to 7.0.4.2 Upgraded to 7.0.4.2 as requested. The same issue still exists when a character string that includes the " 's " and made bold and italic. Dennis Rice

The synthetic "Italic" applied to DejaVu Sans U+2018 and U+2019 folloowing autocorrection corrupts the glyphs. Synthetic "Bold" applies without issue.

I'm sorry but your comments are beyond me in COMMENT 12 & 13. I'm not a programmer. Why do you need a PNG image when I did a screen shot (ALT-PrintScreen) and then pasted that into another writer document in order to show you the effect in order to send it to you. If you insist on a PNG then I can paste into GIMP to create the PNG and sent that to you, but do not know what the difference would be. Is there some other issue that I need to do to make the issue more visible to you? Would enabling the the field codes help? I think I know how, but if it would help you can give me a little guidance. You make a comment about using DejaVu Sans, is that the issue and do I need to use a different font? Please help me provide you with the information that you need. Dennis Rice
(In reply to Dennis Rice from comment #15) The Bugzilla tracker is web based, so a simple attachment of an image (PNG or JPEG) is sufficient, and much more conveneint. I merely extracted extracted the PNGs from your ODF text document attachments to make it convenient for anyone else looking at this. Nothing more needed from you. The issue is with DejaVu Sans font and is confirmed (reproduced) from the QA perspective, up to a dev to decide best way to correct. Tbanks for taking the time to file the bug!
Hmm, can not find a font/font family other than DejaVu that has this issue. Interestingly DejaVu Math Tex Gyre, DejaVu Sans Light, DejaVu Serif, DejaVu Serif Condensed are all unaffected. But each of these are: DejaVu Sans (ver 2.37), DejaVu Sans Mono (ver 2.37), DejaVu Sans Condensed (ver 2.37) They each have an incorrect rendering in LibreOffice's synthesized italic effect.
@László, I don't think this is wrapped up in work on bug 128860 (did not check older builds), but either way something weird is happening with the sythetic italics being applied to DejaVu Sans, which I know you keep an eye on.

Indeed, I can reproduce the rendering problem with DejaVu Sans font and: Version: 7.0.4.2 (x64) Build ID: dcf040e67528d9187c66b2379df5ea4407429775 CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: zh-CN (zh_CN); UI: en-US Calc: threaded However, when I turn off Skia, I can no longer reproduce with: Version: 7.0.4.2 (x64) Build ID: dcf040e67528d9187c66b2379df5ea4407429775 CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: zh-CN (zh_CN); UI: en-US Calc: threaded ...which suggests this is likely a duplicate of bug 137122. P.S.: When I reproduce the problem, it is a bit different from attachment 168965 [details] and attachment 168967 [details] -- here the simple italic form is also mis-rendered, along with bold-italic. Regular and simple bold are fine.
Created attachment 168977 [details] with Skia rendering enabled, select all and change font from DejaVu Serif to DejaVu Sans Ouch, yes this is Skia dependent on Windows. Affecting both Skia Vulkan and raster rendering. No issue default GDI or with HA. Attaching simple test doc, just select all and changing font from DejaVu Serif to DejaVu Sans.
@Luboš, * Definitely Skia related. Have no issue with default GDI rendering (through current master), nor with OpenGL rendering with a 7.0.4 build that still includes it. Attachment 168977 [details] is a nice simple reproducer with DejaVu font. STR select all and change from DejaVu Serif to DejaVu Sans or DejaVu Sans Condensed.
One more thing: I disagree with Stuart's diagnosis that this is a problem related to LO's *synthetic* italics. On my system -- which should also apply to everyone else, as DejaVu only has this one form of distribution, and it's also bundled with LO -- DejaVu Sans (same situation with the other two problematic fonts, Sans Mono and Sans Condensed) is represented by four separate TTF files: DejaVuSans.ttf for regular, DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf for italic, DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf for bold, and DejaVuSans-BoldOblique.ttf for bold-italic. There should be no reason for LO to synthesize italic forms from the regular forms, instead of just using the italic font directly.

I was focusing on the reported issue of OP and pared it down to a nice simple reproducer. However, the DejaVu would have composite font family that might have issues mapping the Oblique/Oblique Bold. Becomes obvious if I use the Character... dialog to make the font changes rather than the TB. So is it a Harfbuzz font mishandling, or a Skia rendering issue?
