Description Loknath Bharti 2015-08-19 18:07:08 UTC 
I downloaded Libreoffice 5, only to find that Font rendering is blurrier than it was in earlier versions. A bit of clarity can be achieved with Anti-aliasing off, but it's still blurry. When the UI shows crisp fonts, why are they blurred in the document?

The problem is specific to Mac.
Comment 2 Alex Thurgood 2015-08-20 12:47:57 UTC 
@Loknath : which version did you download ? From the Apple Store or from TDF download page ?
Comment 3 Loknath Bharti 2015-08-20 16:10:52 UTC 
Yesterday from the TDF!

@Loknath : please indicate which version of LibreOffice displays the font correctly.

Please also indicate the font family you are using which displays incorrectly.

A sample document uploaded to this bug report would be helpful

Almost all of them are a little blurry. But disabling "Screen font antialiasing" under Preferences -> LibreOffice -> View, improves the display. It was better with 4.4 and has gotten worse with the one downloaded yesterday, i.e.,

Not enough data to triage this issue (a screenshot was never provided), so closing as INSUFFICIENTDATA.
