Description jean-paul.hahn 2012-03-26 13:03:21 UTC
Problem description: 

When I create a Calc chart and want to have the labels of the x-axis rotated by 270 degrees the font looks like bold and shadowed at the same time and I cannot get rid of it. This is annoying and worked perfectly in OpenOffice
 
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a simple chart from a dread sheet
2. Double click on the x axis
3. Set text orientation to 270 degrees. The fon still looks OK
4. click outside your chart to make the handles disappear. Now the font looks awkward.

Current behavior: 

Font os bold & shadowy

Expected behavior:

Font should be normal

Comment 4 sasha.libreoffice 2012-06-26 01:43:32 UTC
Thanks for screenshot
Reproduced in 3.5.4 and 3.6.beta1 on Fedora 64 bit
numbers on bottom of chart looking as with double contours.
What is interesting: if we double click on chart, all becomes correct. But when exit chart editing, all becomes wrong again.

Reproduced in 3.5.2 on Windows 7 32 bit
numbers becomes bold, but double contours I not see.

Not reproduced in 3.3.4 on Fedora, therefore regression

@ Caolan
Greetings
What do You think about this bug?
Comment 6 Caolán McNamara 2012-06-26 03:46:07 UTC
some interesting things. If you select it and paste special into writer as a "GDI metafile" it doesn't look bold, if you paste special into calc as a "GDI metafile" it does look bold
Comment 7 Caolán McNamara 2012-06-26 05:49:09 UTC
so, if we "just draw" the text under Linux anyway then we get the right results as per cairo vertical text. Which is what happens when we activate it or paste it as a gdi into writer.

In draw/calc however X11SalGraphics::GetGlyphOutline is called by the stupendously complicated drawing layer and it apparently rotates the results of that itself (?)

rodo/thorsten: either of you familiar with the drawinglayer to debug this further, i.e. if you put a breakpoint on X11SalGraphics::GetGlyphOutline and get a backtrace into the bowels of the drawing layer and its various transformation glories ? in order to assign blame more closely

[Reproducible] with "LibreOffice  3.5.5.3.  German UI/Locale [Build-ID: 7122e39-92ed229-498d286-15e43b4-d70da21] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) 

For me Y-axis also affected.

Also [Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.4.5 German UI [Build ID: OOO340m1 (Build:502)]" parallel Server installation on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) 

Already with 3.3.3 (but a little less visible?), but not with  OOo 3.2. So a 3.3.0 Regression?
Comment 9 stuttgarter 2014-01-13 10:46:44 UTC
Next interesting effect.

Printing the chart is ok even it looks bold and shadowed on the screen.
