Created attachment 199778 [details] Sample slide (PPTX) (Note to self: original is "*or Proprietary*") Opening this attached PPTX file the font in the textbox is rendered too big (and the line spacing is too small for the fontsize, so text lines run into each other vertically). This may be an issue with shrink text on overflow. This is a regression between 24.2 Version: 24.2.8.0.0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 0e74b05b607d931d63762b7d8f69f59b457c1e17 CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 6.13; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US and 24.8 Version: 24.8.7.0.0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 514200a3316f1542a8142b72e3fda80de6bef149 CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 6.13; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US

Created attachment 201097 [details] TextBox compare docs
(In reply to Tomaz Vajngerl from comment #5) > Created attachment 201097 [details] > TextBox compare docs For completeness I created this docs to compare with the text box fitting algorithm compared with MSO, which I also checked with Balazs's patch applied to see if there is a bigger regression.
Created attachment 201135 [details] Updated screenshot: PowerPoint (left) versus Impress as of 2025-06-08 (right) This is definitely much nicer with Version: 25.8.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: e24aa1d0f692cb6d64c00353356b0731e9afbadc CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 6.14; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US I was going to close as VERIFIED, something still bother me visually, and digging in a bit deeper I noticed that while it definitely approximates PowerPoint better now, in our example: · Font size still appears larger (leading to two items in bulleted lists rendering with one line more, marked up as yellow in the screenshot). · Line spacing appears smaller (one instance marked up as green). Is there a bit more we can do?
