Description kyoshida 2003-11-26 14:31:36 UTC
When I use a text object in Draw, and specify a small font size, the spacings
between characters become really ugly.  It becomes readily noticeable at font
size smaller than 8 (like 6 or 7).  But when I insert an OLE Writer object to
draw text, the spacings look just fine.  This problem is also present when
printed, not just on screen.

I will attach a screenshot to let you see what it looks like on my screen.  I
will attach an example file that I've used to get the screenshot as well.

I use Draw to create scientific figures.  Because many of my annotations must be
at a size smaller than 8 (legends, notes etc.), this is truly a roadblock for me
in adopting OO.o Draw for scientific drawings.  I hope this will be worked on in
a timely manner.

My system:
  Fedora Core 1 (Linux)
  OpenOffice.org 1.1.0 (vanilla downloaded from OO.o website)
  512MB RAM
  Athlon 900Mhz
