Description: With the default font, on a barely altered template and indeed an instance of LibreOffice in which I have changed fairly few settings, sometimes the kerning is diabolical. See the screenshot that I will attach. Steps to Reproduce: Uncertain. As my screenshot shows, the problem affects only some instances of the relevant letters. Actual Results: See screenshot and specifically the second line and within that line the gap between the 'p' and the 'a' in the word 'grandparent'. Expected Results: I expect - in the normative sense (this is what should happen) and the predictive sense (I imagine that it would happen) - kerning that was not as disastrously, distractingly bad as it actually was. You can't have a word processor that does this. It's completely deal-breaking. Reproducible: Sometimes User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: PS: The text on this page about adding an attachment 'once the bug is filled' makes little sense - it is either bad English for 'when you have filled in the fields above' or else 'filed' is meant. I do not have OpenGL enabled. Er, I think. This webpage should tell the user where to look for that setting. I can find an 'Open *C*L' setting . .

Created attachment 171485 [details] Another specimen, though not as bad: see the 'a' and the 't' and the 'u' in 'natural'
Thank you for reporting the bug. It seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice. 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. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
I am afraid not. For, it is a pain - too much of a pain - to install new versions of LibreOffice. (It's .debs for miles . .)
