Comment 3 Jorendc 2014-04-18 21:29:14 UTC
Tested using Mac OSX 10.9 with LibreOffice Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 619b4c40da9e85febbb08a3f7cf8aa8d10963fc1
TinderBox: MacOSX-x86@49-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2014-04-18_00:07:53

I guess I fail to reproduce reported behavior.

@Nima: can you please retest using the most recent version you can find here: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/MacOSX-x86@49-TDF/

Thanks.

Kind regards,
Joren
Comment 4 Nima 2014-06-22 07:48:35 UTC
Dear Joren,

Please see the difference. (left frame is a libreoffice default but
the right one is made by me.)

how it looks in 4.2.5 on linux

Hi Nima,

I grabbed the BBCNassim font from < http://awebfont.ir/fonts?cat_id=1&fonts_id=1776 > as you had mentioned in IRC, as its used in the provided odp file and this problem seems to be isolated to OS X as i can reproduce the shrunken text on linux.

Please let us know which version of OS X you are running.
Comment 7 Nima 2014-06-22 08:31:49 UTC
Hi :)

I am on OS X 10.8.5.

A new screenshot

Comment 8 Alex Thurgood 2014-06-22 19:32:54 UTC
Is this a problem with unsupported font weights again ?
Comment 9 Alex Thurgood 2014-06-22 19:33:33 UTC
In other words, incomplete CoreText support ?
Comment 10 Alex Thurgood 2014-06-22 19:35:09 UTC
@Nima : which version of the font are you using OTF or TTF ?
Comment 11 Alex Thurgood 2014-06-22 19:36:01 UTC
There have also been issues around RTL support too, so maybe one of these is the cause ?
Comment 12 Nima 2014-06-22 20:08:44 UTC
The font is TTF.

Comment 13 Alex Thurgood 2014-06-22 20:25:03 UTC
The font is only supported by LO in the Normal font weight (it only has one weight Regular according to OSX fontbook), but whether this is the reason or whether it is a kerning problem due to incomplete font API support in the Mac version of LO, I don't know.

That overlay problem is reminiscent of other existing kerning issues in proportional fonts.
