Description Unknown 2003-08-23 09:06:23 UTC 
some fonts in tabbed and indented paragraphs does not display properly when
exported in built-in PDF driver. There are spaces between apostraphy and the
letters. 
eg.
correct: don't
incorrect: don' t  

fonts I tested are Gothic L, Nimbus Roman 9 L, Chancery L don't work.

I can confirm this, again with OOo 1.1 RC3 on Linux. Will attach test
case.

I think it must be no coincidence that it's fonts whose names end in
"L" are the ones which are problematic. Note that in the test case the
font "Bookman L" has this problem, but not "Bookman".
Comment 4 h.ilter 2003-08-26 16:42:12 UTC 
Doesn't occur in win32
Comment 5 bulbul 2003-08-27 15:43:53 UTC 
Could someone with privileges (such as the reporter) please change the
summary line to something more descriptive, like "tab inserted after
apostrophe in PDF export"? Thanks.

Issue 18722, which should be marked as a duplicate of this bug,
provides an additional symptom: the first couple letters after the
single quote can be superimposed over the following characters. Two
notes here:

1. There are at least some fonts which are not "L" fonts which 
   insert the extra space after the apostrophe.
2. Only some of the problem fonts have the additional problem of 
   superimposing some characters over others.

I'm going to post an additional test case that shows these problems,
together with the PDF output.

Confirmed -- RH9/1.1rc3
Comment 11 philipp.lohmann 2003-08-29 16:21:52 UTC 
All the fonts showing the problem seem to be type 1 fonts from
/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts. Strangely the PostScript output does not
show the same behaviour.
