Description Kyeongrak Choi 2023-08-07 05:01:48 UTC
Description:
From Libreoffice 5.0.0.0 beta 1 to recent versions, it seems that the height of characters (or the margin of the font itself) is not expressed properly in certain fonts.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Writer version 5.0.0.0 ahpha or lower.
2. Set the Font to "Malgun Gothic" and type A enter b enter. (Probably, most fonts that support other multi-languages other than "Malgun Gothic" show the same phenomenon.)
3. Set Line Spacing Single, Below paragraph spacing to 0.28cm (or 8 pt). (Below paragraph spacing 0 also shows the same result.) Font size is 11pt.
4. Turn on the vertical tape measure option and check how many cm it is. (The end of b is about 1.5~1.6cm.)
5. You can check the same length in other offices such as MS Word, Google docs, and OpenOffice.
6. Proceed with the same test with Writer version 5.0.0.0 beta or higher.
In all versions, including the most recent version 7.6.0, only Libreoffice is about 1 cm long.
7. The above symptoms are not seen in English-oriented fonts such as Arial or Tahoma. (maybe)

In conclusion, it seems that the height of certain fonts is not expressed properly from version 5.0.0.0 beta.

Actual Results:
short height

Expected Results:
same height


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
I tested some 6.X versions and most of 5.X and 7.X versions.

I'm not an English native, so please forgive me if there are any strange parts.
