Problem description:

  The problem is that LibreOffice suite has a bad font rendering in KDE 4.

  In my research I discovered that this problem appear when kde's anti-aliasing is enabled.
 
Steps to reproduce:
1. Execute libreOffice
2. Make some work with the suite
3. The badly font renders will appear

Current behavior:

Having a better font rendering in KDE.

Expected behavior:

  Having a better font rendering in KDE.
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.1.1.2 release
Comment 1 ign_christian 2013-09-14 10:05:34 UTC
Not reproducible with:
- LO 4.0.4.2 (installed from PPA along with libreoffice-kde package)
- Kubuntu 12.04 32bit (KDE 4.8.5 & 4.11.1) & PCLinuxOS 32bit KDE 4.8.5

@Alfeno, do you installed KDE in standard Ubuntu or you had native Kubuntu? Could you make sure libreoffice-kde package installed? Have you tried resetting user profile?
Comment 2 Maxim Monastirsky 2013-09-14 19:19:56 UTC
From the screenshot it's clear that it's gtk rendering using oxygen-gtk theme, as it exposes some other bugs (like Bug 68443).

The screenshot reminds me what I have seen in some dialogs, when reproduced Bug 60856. So maybe related?
Comment 3 Alfeno Rodrigues 2013-09-16 12:08:49 UTC
Helo ign_christian;

This is my environment

Distributor ID:    Netrunner
Description:       Netrunner 5 Enigma (13.06)
Release:           13.06
Codename:       enigma-1306


And yes, I had libobasis4.1-kde-integration installed in my  computer. My
libreOffice package was from LibreOffice Web site.

How can I help libreOffice team to investigate this issue ? Maybe to access
my environment ?

Thanks
Alfeno Júnior

Comment 4 Maxim Monastirsky 2013-09-16 20:35:29 UTC
@Alfeno Rodrigues: Hi,

libobasis4.1-kde-integration package is for KDE3. Official builds from libreoffice.org don't contain KDE4 integration, see Bug 48611. So basically you confirm what I wrote in comment 2, that you're getting gtk rendering with oxygen-gtk theme.

If you want KDE integration, you should try your distribution packages, or from PPA.

Also in the future please don't respond to the mail, use the web interface instead. It's located at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69342. thanks.
Comment 5 Alfeno Rodrigues 2013-09-17 00:37:44 UTC
is exactly the problem I'm having.

Comment 6 Alfeno Rodrigues 2013-09-17 01:39:52 UTC
Now, I installed libreoffice suite from launchpad.net instead from Official
builds from libreoffice.org but this issue keeps happening.

Now my environment do not have kde integration package, only GTK+ 3.0
integration (libreoffice-gtk3) pakage.

I changed GTK theme to default, in the other words, remove oxgen-gtk
configuration

I do not know is import, but my graphics driver is from nvidia corporation.
I'm not using nouveau display driver

Hi Alfeno, please don't directly reply from email. Use what Maxim has told instead:

Have you also tried playing with KDE system settings, ie. using Xrender instead of OpenGL, disable desktop effects, disable/configure anti aliasing for fonts, change to another font, etc ?
Comment 8 ign_christian 2013-09-17 02:42:30 UTC
If I'm not wrong, you are using 'Galaxy' style within LO (shown on your screenshot). How about 'Human' style which is default in your distro?

I'll change the summary respectively.

I switched to Human interface with the same problem. There is a way to run libreoffice in debug mode ?

Yes. I have disabled all kde effects, .... but the bug not appear when I have disabled the KDE anti aliasing fonts.

Perhaps that is the main problem. I saw many problems with KDE integration, not only with LO, but I don't know if related.

If you have time, perhaps you could also playing with another KDE version: KDE 4.10.5 (considered as most stable currently), or brand new 4.11.1. Then you could investigate whether same behavior reoccur?

I found resources to get debug but I don't know the official way:

This task is easy, no problem.

I have some news to this issue:

1) effect enable + anti-aliasing = bug
2) efect enable - anti_aliasing = whitout bug
3) Xrender + anti_aliasing = whitout bug
4) Xrender - anti_aliasing = whitout bug
Comment 14 ign_christian 2013-09-26 01:34:23 UTC
So it looks like compatibility problem with OpenGL or video driver using that. I always use Xrender so almost never see something strange within KDE :)
Comment 15 ign_christian 2013-09-26 02:40:20 UTC
I can confirm no problem with LO 4.0.4.2 (Kubuntu 12.04 32bit) using OpenGL & system fonts anti-aliasing (with any configuration), video Intel i915
Comment 16 Maxim Monastirsky 2013-09-26 19:55:48 UTC
I'm also can't reproduce with LO 4.1.1.2 from PPA under Ubuntu 13.04 (64-bit) with KDE 4.11.1 (from Kubuntu-backports PPA), using oxygen-gtk theme. OpenGL + Anti-aliasing both activated, fonts hinting style set to 'Slight'.

I bring some news.

I discovered that this bug occur when the uses this environment.

Nvidia's Driver + anti_aliasing Font enable.

My Notebook has two GPU (intel and Nvidia). When switched to intel the bug don´t appear.
Comment 18 ign_christian 2013-09-28 01:24:16 UTC
Hi Alfeno, looks like you had installed LO from LO website. Have you tried using PPA: https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa

If you find same behavior, you should report this bug to Ubuntu team in Launchpad & mention your video driver there so they can assist you to debug this problem. 
Should be this link:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+filebug

Then link that newly created bug to this Bugzilla & vice versa.
