Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 23016
printing or pdf output hyphens too close

Depending on the used font, the hyphen seems to be too close to the previous letter. Gentium is the font used in the document attached.

Gentium can be downloaded at: http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=Gentium_download. The hyphen is too close to the previous character with all fonts, but with some fonts hyphen is closer than with others.
The PDF export issue has the same core reason as issue 17098 which is fixed in CWS vcl7pp1r2 for the OOo 1.1.1 target (rounding errors of about 0.05 points per glyph in PDF export). The problem shows up at portion boundaries, e.g. in this case the english<->greek boundaries. For printing I see that the generic printer is used, so a similar rounding problem shows up. I suggest to use the T42 enabled version of the printer and to set the device resolution from 300 to e.g. 600 (see File->PrinterSettings->Properties->Device->Resolution). *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 17098 ***
