From: Osamu Aoki <osamu@debian.org> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <submit@bugs.debian.org> Subject: libreoffice-writer: Vertical text alignment problem with Japanese text Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2013 21:52:59 +0900 [Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)] Package: libreoffice-writer Version: 1:4.1.3-1+b1 Severity: normal The vertical text alignment always bothered me and made me use non-free fonts. Problem seems to be in several places. * libreoffice screen rendering * libreoffice PDF/printing output * reference font cordinates of Japanese fonts seems to be inconsistent Almost all FreeFonts cause screen arrangement problem while its PDF looks better (not perfect). MS fonts are almost perfect for both (excluding FULL size Alphabet) EPSON fonts are least problematic. (Not included here but many Japanese fonts in the Windows 8 disk works as good as MS font.) I attache test odt file and PDF file generated by libreoffice. (Containing screeshot so you know how things change) Keep special attention on 2 alignment reference lines I placed. The vertical line character for long sound has problem on some fonts and these are font problem. Since PDF file looks good enough, I think screen rendering engine of libreoffice has room to be improved. Regards, Osamu

TESTING with Ubuntu 14.04 + LO 5.2.0.0.alpha0+ (2016-02-24_23:58:47) (In reply to Stéphane Aulery from comment #0) > The vertical text alignment always bothered me and made me use non-free > fonts. > ... > Almost all FreeFonts cause screen arrangement problem while its PDF > looks better (not perfect). > > MS fonts are almost perfect for both (excluding FULL size Alphabet) > ... > I attache test odt file and PDF file generated by libreoffice. > (Containing screeshot so you know how things change) If I understand correctly, the attached "Sample PDF output" shows a small sample of Japanese text displayed in a number of fonts (both free and non-free). The inset screenshot shows how LibreOffice displays the text in the running program, while the main document shows the result of LibreOffice export to PDF. Correct? > Since PDF file looks good enough, I think screen rendering engine of > libreoffice has room to be improved. On this system, it appears that I currently have DROID SANS Japanese available (the rest are being substituted). Can you demonstrate the problem using fonts that ship/package with stock Debian/Ubuntu/LibreOffice? It also appears that the provided PDF contains a different list/different arrangement of the fonts as compared to the ODT. Could you please harmonize these two? Thanks Status -> NEEDINFO

I have not looked in depth document, I do not feel competent in Japanese… I will try to learn more from the user. > > Status -> NEEDINFO
