Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 19007
Irregular spacing using expanded text
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
When expanding text the spacing between characters is very irregular. It appears fine in Writer, but in the character preview pane and the final printout the gaps between characters are inconsistent
Created attachment 8974 [details] Screenshot of character window with spacing problem
Created attachment 8975 [details] Screenshot of text in Writer, displaying without a problem
set os to all set version to OOo1.1rc4 set target OOo later set Prio to P4 reassignet to os set status to new
Expanded text does work on Linux machines but not windows
The dialog preview window is not able to create a correct text formatting. It would be nice to know which printer is used. Reassigned to FME
We are using a Toshiba EStudio (post script printer) and BrotherHL 5040
Expanded text previews and prints properly on Fedora Core 3 machine running oo.org 1.1.3
In OOo v2.0.1 and assuming all previous, for character space expansion, space is added after the last character in the selection. In the condensed case, no space appears to be removed after the last character in the selection. The Online Help says that character spacing affects space 'between' the selected characters, so it seems that condenced spacing is done correctly whereas expanded spacing isn't. This is on a Fedora Core 3 system with OOo v2.0.1 but I assume it's the same for all systems.
