Description v_2e 2011-11-16 22:34:25 UTC
Hello!
  I've noticed that some fonts (e.g. "URW Palladio L", "Bitstream Charter", "Century Schoolbook L", "Utopia", "URW Bookman L" and maybe some others) look stretched vertically in Slide Show mode.
  In editing mode as well as in the exported PDF file everything is fine.

  This Launchpad bug seems to describe the similar issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/779366

  Regards,
    Vladimir

This bug is still present for LibreOffice 3.5.0beta2
Comment 2 Cristián Rojas 2012-01-29 11:40:25 UTC
I've seen the same behavior in 3.4.4 for Ubuntu Oneiric.
Comment 3 Cristián Rojas 2012-02-16 19:46:25 UTC
Version 3.4.5 for Ubuntu Oneiric (PPA repository) still shows the same behavior.
Comment 4 gka 2012-02-20 15:25:34 UTC
Same bug on LibreOffice 3.5.0rc3 for Mac OS 10.6.8
Comment 5 Michael Meeks 2012-03-29 03:16:46 UTC
Can you confirm that turning off use-hardware-acceleration fixes this ? :-)
Sample document cf. bug#46901 shows this clearly:

It is caused by the cairo canvas: in a nutshell :-) should be Linux only in 3.5.2. Thanks for the nice clean report.

@gka: Which fonts did you use for this test on MacOS?

I want to test if this bug is still present with LibreOffice 3.5.2.x, but because the bug seems to depend on the fonts used, I'd like to test with the same fonts you used for your test.

(BTW: I wanted to give it a try with Utopia (PostScript Type 1 from Adobe) or Bitstream Charter (PostScript Type 1), but both fonts don't even show up in the font menus of LibreOffice -- like all old-styled PostScript Type 1 / Mac fonts they are just ignored by LibreOffice -- but this is a different problem; the point is just that I can't use these fonts for testing and don't know which fonts I should test.)

Can you please look at it? Thanks,

Cor Nouws/Michael Meeks, unchecking Use hardware acceleration does prevent the problem.

1) lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu precise (development branch)
Release:	12.04

2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-impress
libreoffice-impress:
  Installed: 1:3.5.2-2ubuntu1

  Yes, I have just tried it with 
    LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 
    ID сборки: 350m1(Build:202)
and it turned out that turning off the hardware acceleration does indeed "fixes" the problem. The fonts look normally without acceleration.
Comment 10 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2012-10-14 07:26:11 UTC
This one might be a DUP of "Bug 47673 SLIDESHOW: Particular fonts like "Century Schoolbook L" too narrow with hardware acceleration" (might still happen)
or 
"Bug 46901 - SLIDESHOW shows characters too slim with Hardware Acceleration activated - cairo canvas used in error on windows" (should be fixed in between)

We still do not really know what is happening here and what the roots might be, so NEEDINFO again due to <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugTriage#Process>  item 5

@v_2e@ukr.net:
Can you decide whether this one is a DUP of one of the above ones or something different?

This bug is definitely about the same problem as the Bug 47673 
I also checked the "hardware acceleration" option, and yes, everything is fine with this option turned off.
My current LO version is 3.6.2.2
