Description: After updating to LO 7.4.0.3, every single writer document I open (either new or old ones) it renders a very bad text hinting for every font type. Font rendering inside a text box is perfectly fine (see attached image for a visual sample of the issue). Document font: Georgia 13 pt. UI font rendering is also fine (Tahoma 8 pt). Steps to Reproduce: 1. For text inside a document, font rendering is bad. 2. For text inside a text box, font rendering is fine. 3. System: Debian 11 (64 bits), XFCE 4.16, Xorg. Actual Results: Font render on the document looks ugly Expected Results: Font render on the document should be fine Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 7.4.0.3 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: f85e47c08ddd19c015c0114a68350214f7066f5a CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.10; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: es-ES (es_ES.UTF-8); UI: es-ES Calc: threaded

Loading LO with generic X11 just works fine and text of the document and text in a box both render fine (see attached image): sm01@stt008:~$ export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen sm01@stt008:~$ /opt/libreoffice7.4/program/soffice --writer

More info: - On LO 7.3.1.2 fonts renderings worked fine. - I can also reproduce the problem on my Debian testing system (LO 7.4.0.3). - Adding a snapshot of my XFCE fonts settings config.

please see if a duplicate of bug 150507. There was a fix trial there today so please test daily master with that fix.
Just tested with: Version: 7.4.1.0.0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 9ad83843742354312cd543bfbed286c9f52baf1a CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 5.18; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: es-ES (es_ES.UTF-8); UI: es-ES Calc: threaded But the issue is still there (see attached snapshot). In my case, «SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen» does make a difference (see comment #2).
