Snap from SUSE 10.0 and OpenOffice.org 2.0 from SUSE : perfect
At least I made another test. I removed OOo 2.0 packages from SL 10.1 and installed OOo 2.0.2 (french version) downloaded from fr.openOffice.org. I have exactly the same result. Is freetype staticaly linked with OOo and bytecode interpreter disabled ? I made some others tests. his time under Gnome. Same problem. To be sure, I installed an older OpenOffice.org (m125) : no problems ! Can you explain that ? Ok, this patch seems to repair OOo 2.0.2 but expected only in OOo 2.0.3 ! I modified Product to SUSE Linux 10.1 because maintainer of OOo2.0 doesn't seem to read this issue. I repeat : OOo 2.0.2 is unusuable as is. Can you add this patch to your release ? http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=61841 Thanks committed fix to ooo-build-2-0-2 - it will miss RC1 I think though. Sebastian - I committed the up-stream patch; unfortunately for my Tahoma I get no better behavior :-) I guess this is simply because /etc/fonts/fonts.conf doesn't enable the bitmaps for that font - however; even poking at the XML that's supposed to enable that I get no joy so ... We have now for RC1: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Apr 5 19:11:06 CEST 2006 - pmladek@suse.cz - updated ooo-build to version 2.0.2.5: * use fontconfig to enable/disable bitmaps * pressing escape when context menu is displayed crasher ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Mar 31 14:22:43 CEST 2006 - pmladek@suse.cz - updated ooo-build to version 2.0.2.4: * import of VBA stream hangup * lots new constants for VBA excel * lots fixes in Atk bridge * i18n support within pasting to Calc * bin the obsolete LD_PRELOAD of libgcj [#153386] - added some NLD9 specific fixes (affects only build on NLD9): * marked the compat desktop files GNOME only * substituted the bin suffix in the compat desktop files * enabled openclipart * packaged missing directories So, can we mark this as FIXED? No. I'm sorry to say that in OpenOffice.org 2.0.2-14 the problem is not fixed at all. Fonts looks ugly when anti-aliasing is disabled, exactly like when bytecode interpreter is disabled, and not only with tahoma... Ok, I have some news. I made some tests with OOo 2.0.2 and fonts in SUSE 10.1 RC1. Of course I have the same problem. But it seems it occurs only with tahoma truetype font ! I tried with Arial, Verdana, Times New Roman, etc and it works perfecty. I also tried to desactivate font hinting in KDe control center : tahoma font then looks as ugly as in OpenOffice.org 2.0.2. So the problem is that font hinting is not enabled for OOo only for Tahoma. Any idea ? This bug is related in OOO 2.0.2 issues as issue 62459 in openoffice.org bug database. http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=62459 No workaround at this time :( I'm searching for some references to tahoma fonts under VCL.xcu file from 00o 2.0.2 and compare it with the same file from 2.0.0/2.0.1 release. I'm also searching references to tahoma in source code. I'm surprised to see that I'm the only guy in bugzilla who has this problem ! Same issue here : https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=163990 New tests this evening (in France). I made a backup of VCL.xcu ( in /usr/lib/ooo-2.0/share/registry/data/org/openoffice ) and copied here the VCL.xcu from OpenOffice.org 2.0.0. And it works ! So the issue is related to tahoma configuration under this file. I put theses two files in attachement. Created attachment 78502 [details]

VCL.xcu from OOo 2.0.2
Ooops... Bad idea. In fact I forgot to says "Use system font" to OOo. So VCL.xcu didn't made any change. I use Arial or verdana as replacement for Andale Sans UI. It works. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 118131 *** |
