Description V Stuart Foote 2015-10-21 12:58:21 UTC
Seem to have a Uniscribe/Graphite composition glitch on Windows--splitting letter glyphs from words-- affecting justified Gentium Basic, Linux Biolinum G and Linux Libertine G

As in attached screen clip of attacment 119766

On Windows 10 Pro 64-bit en-US with nVidia GTX750ti

This started between 2015-10-01 and 2015-10-05, but there had been spacing issues with glyph placement since 2015-09-03

Just got round to checking this on a VMWare Workstation Linux guest
Fedora 22, LXDE with

The black blocks of bug 95648 are not present (with or without OpenGL enabled), but the incorrect composition of justified text for several fonts are (affects at least Gentium Basic, Linux Bilinum G, and Linux Libertine G). 

I guess meaning that is it more than just a Uniscribe handling issue on Windows.

Setting OS to All, and requesting bibiset.

So the fonts mentioned (Gentium Basic, Linux Biolinum G and Linux Libertine G ) are all Graphite-enabled ones?

Seems to be just the Graphite enabled, I've attached a sample document. Issue manifests with blocks when justifying at larger point size for fonts. At smaller point sizes elements of the glyphs are malformed and characters overlap.

Not sure what is going on in sw with this. Here's the first line of the test text:

006B 0072 00E1 0073 006E 00FD 0020 0064 006B 006B 006B 0020 0061 0073 0064 0066 006B 006A 0061 0073 0066 0020 0061 006B 006A 0066 0064 0020 00E1 00E9 0077 010D 0161 00FD 0159 0020 011B 010D 017E 0159 011B 010D 011B 0161 0020 011B 010D 011B 0161 0020 011B 0161 010D 0020 011B 0161 010D 0020 011B 0161 010D 011B 0161 006D 006D 006D 006D 006D 006D 006D 006D 006D 006D 006D 006D 006D 006D 010D 011B 0161 010D 011B 0161 010D 0020 011B 0161 010D 0020

Here's the data on each character:

0,8,7 1,14,13 2,21,21 3,27,26 4,35,35 5,42,57 6,45,75 7,53,83 8,61,90 9,69,98 10,77,120 11,80,138 12,87,145 13,93,151 14,101,159 15,106,163 16,114,171 17,118,174 18,125,182 19,131,187 20,136,207 21,139,225 22,146,232 23,154,240 24,158,243 25,163,248 26,171,271 27,174,289 28,181,296 29,188,303 30,199,313 31,206,319 32,212,325 33,219,332 34,225,353 35,228,371 36,235,378 37,242,385 38,249,391 39,255,397 40,262,404 41,269,410 42,276,418 43,282,438 44,285,456 45,292,463 46,299,469 47,306,476 48,312,497 49,315,515 50,322,522 51,328,528 52,335,549 53,338,567 54,345,574 55,351,580 56,358,586

each triple is the character index, the rendered horizontal position before justification and the kerning value requested for that character by sw. Notice how the kern values increase by about 8 each time. Then for the character before the space and for the space the amount they increase jumps to 22. This is what is causing the problem with the 'last character of the word floating off'. Any thoughts as to why this is happening just for Graphite fonts is welcomed. But I don't see that it's anything in the Graphite layer, or else it is some weird interaction with sw. All I can say is sw is giving the Graphite layer some very odd kern values to work with.

Will dig deeper later. All wisdom welcomed.

BTW I blame SwFontObj::DrawText. Please let me know if you think I am barking up the wrong tree.

TIA.

Fixed in I9ea7167ca21bc18db6ed7f82fc54f3824468db4e in master. Could someone promote this to 5.1 release?

Thanks.

Cherry-picked to 5.1, thanks! Will cherry-pick to 5.0, too, soon.
Comment 12 How can I remove my account? 2015-11-30 07:37:31 UTC
(If needed in 5.0, that is.)
Comment 13 martin_hosken 2015-11-30 08:27:04 UTC
Not needed in 5.0. All the fun was added in 5.1.
