Description Unknown 2003-03-01 22:30:00 UTC 
Hello, folks,
Thanks for the valuable office suite.

When text in a certain font (e.g. LucidaSans) is directed
(rotated) to slight degrees by the setting:
Format -> Cells -> Text direction
the text string appears at a wrong, horizontally displaced
location.
The displacement seems related to the degree value.

I will attach sample SXC and screen shot where text in B1
cell appears at D1 and text in B2 appears at C2, with different
degree values.

On Linux, text in other certain fonts (e.g. Helvetica and Times) 
does not appear at all (issue #10735 reported with 643C).

This issue occurs with 644m4 snapshot running on Windows2000
and Linux (RedHat8.0).
I will attach SXC and screen shots on both platforms.

This is the same problem as in issue 11757. Please set the reference
edge of the cells to "Inside cell".

Dear Daniel,

Thanks for your comment.
I can not still solve the 'disappearance' issue on Linux even by your
kindly suggestion.
Please visit the files I am going to attach.

Could you tell me how to solve this issue, or should I reopen this or
raise another issue for this?

Comment 6 john.marmion 2003-04-02 15:56:52 UTC 
Yes, I can re-create the dissappearing text on RedHat 6.2 using an
XFree86 XServer 3.3x for the 'Helvetica' and 'Times' font. This is
quite an old version now. This problem does not occur on a RedHat
version 7.3 using an XFree86 version 4.2. Use 'xdpyinfo' to determine
your XFree86 release. For a full discussion of this and
recommendations please see:

For the sticking 'disappearance' issue,
please refer to my latest comment on the issue #12945.
Comment 8 john.marmion 2003-04-08 18:24:45 UTC 
I was a little premature in blaming this on the XFree86 version. I
tested this initially with OOo 1.0.1 and it worked but if fails on
later  releases on version 4.2. I have highlighted this and I agree
that issue 12945 looks like the same bug.
