Description: Since 7.4.6 user-entered text in Document Mode displays poorly with coarse jagged edges and glyphs that are not true to the font's glyph outlines. When using Web Mode in 7.4.6 the text is properly smoothed and pleasant to read. — In version 7.5.5 user-entered text displays poorly in both Document Mode and Web Mode. I've tried every setting in Options > View > Graphics Output to correct the poorly rendered text but to no avail (including using SKIA rendering, which did not help). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch LibreWriter 7.4.6.2 OR 7.5.5.2 2. Note that all text rendering is coarse, jagged-edged; generally poorly rendered Actual Results: Text rendering is coarse, jagged-edged; generally poorly rendered, and not true to the actual font's glyph outlines (as verified by examination of the font glyphs in FontCreator). Expected Results: Text should be rendered smoothly and correctly with well defined, true-to-outlines glyphs (as user-entered text had always been prior to 7.4.6.2). Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 7.4.6.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 5b1f5509c2decdade7fda905e3e1429a67acd63d CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 25330; UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded AND Version: 7.5.2.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 53bb9681a964705cf672590721dbc85eb4d0c3a2 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 25330; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Created attachment 186464 [details] Screenshot of poor font/glyph rendering compared with proper font/glyph rendering
(In reply to Thorn from comment #1) > Created attachment 186464 [details] > Screenshot of poor font/glyph rendering compared with proper font/glyph > rendering I don't see any easily detectable coarseness in this screenshot. I see some variation in how the glyphs are anti-aliased. If you are able to quickly see the difference, I recommend to do a bibisect with the 7.4 repository to find out the code change that caused this: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bibisect/Windows
Thorn, which version before 7.4.6 didn't have the issue?
