for this bugdoc from bug 70666: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=87870 the rendering changes quite substantially when the Nonprinting Characters button is pressed: letters disappear, and the diacritic marks below the red letters disappear or move around. the problem happens at least since OOo 3.2, got worse in LO 3.4 - LO 4.2, and appears somewhat less bad on master (only diacritics disappear), so i'm not sure to what extent this qualifies as a regression...
I can reproduce the problem only with an explicit SAL_GRAPHITE_CACHE_SIZE: Tested with the attached file (a reduced version of the file sent by Gellért Gyuris). export SAL_GRAPHITE_CACHE_SIZE=512 soffice # bad export SAL_GRAPHITE_CACHE_SIZE= soffice # good Warning! The Graphite extension set SAL_GRAPHITE_CACHE_SIZE in the .profile under Linux. (I had a lot of problems with it, reporting a few false alarms to Martin, because I didn't know about it.)
Created attachment 98616 [details] Test document
Gellért found a similar SAL_GRAPHITE_CACHE_SIZE definition in his old .profile, (he used the Graphite extension and its cache settings). His newly installed Linux has no Graphite problems.

I can’t reproduce this on Linux.
the situation has much improved since 4.2, but i'm still seeing changes... * there are big improvements in 4.3.7 vs. 4.2.8 * then in 5.0.6 i see no change between non-printing characters on/off but the rendering looks flawed in both modes as i don't think the dotted red circles belong * then 5.1.5/current 5.2/current master are rather good but there are still some small changes in the diacritic marks when toggling NP chars: - some "underlines" move up to the baseline - one mark in the 4th line from the bottom moves from "upper right corner" down to the baseline - there is a very tiny change in horizontal positioning (kerning?) of some of the glyphs btw this is all with the GodaGr.ttf file that was attached at bug 70666: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=87871
OK, I see the sight layout difference. The good news is that bug 89870 fixes it.
