Thanks for the bug report. Is it possible to add a sample file? There are so many variables, fonttype, fontsize, paragraph spacing, file format and so on affecting layout.. A sample file reduces the number of variables a lot
Created attachment 205244 [details] Sample hightlighting in two fonts I have attached a sample file. I see your point. I prepared it with my original fount, and also added a paragraph with another, and the highlighting responded very differently to the two.
FWIW: Thanks for the sample file. I lack Garamond Premier Pro on my system. So currently hoping someone being able to test this..
(In reply to Darv Dombach from comment #3) > the highlighting responded very differently to the two. After testing with a few fonts, it seems to me that highlighting limits are a font feature, not a LO bug.
