Description: I'm using LibreOffice 7.4.5.1 on my Debian stable. However, when I open MS Office presentation files, the texts always appear intertwined with each other. As far as I can see, there is no transition or effect. At first, I wasn't sure what could be causing it, but then I noticed that when I scaled up the fonts, they got better. This is happening with all the PPTXs I've opened so far. I think it's a font related thing because I also tried exporting the PPTX file using strict XML from Microsoft PowerPoint, but it gave the same result. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a PPTX file made with Microsoft Office. Actual Results: The letters appear to overlap and are impossible to read. Expected Results: They should be looked like a normal readable text.

I tried a clean profile after installing Century Schoolbook, but it still seems intertwined.

I copied and installed all the Century font family, including Century Schoolbook, from Windows. But it still looks like that on my computer. I tried using safe mode and cleaning profile, but it didn't work.
I can reproduce with the qt5 VCL: Version: 7.5.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: fcbaee479e84c6cd81291587d2ee68cba099e129 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: qt5 (qfont+xcb) Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded And since 6.3: Version: 6.3.6.2 Build ID: 2196df99b074d8a661f4036fca8fa0cbfa33a497 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: qt5; Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded Not reproduced with gen, gtk3 nor kf5 VCLs. Forcing Cairo with SAL_VCL_QT5_USE_CAIRO=1 fixes it: Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: feda414f8b70f50a9f6745d2ce8828316d4711cd CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: qt5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Therefore, I think it's a duplicate of bug 151273 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 151273 ***
