Description minhsien0330 2009-02-28 02:51:58 UTC 
Dear all:
On Linux, I found the font displaying problem in OOo-dev 3.1.0 (OOO310m2 ,
Build:9385).

This only happened in 2 Microftsoft chinese fonts: mingliu.ttc and kaiu.ttf.

In different zoom size, the displaying of the fonts sometimes loss it's bold or
italic effects, and sometimes became crushing.

I uploaded two ogg videos ( Ogg data, Skeleton v3.0) to show you these problems.
Besides, the two videos was also available at my google site:

http://sites.google.com/site/minhsien0330/ooo310m2/no_antialias.ogv?attredirects=0

Thanks a lot~

Sorry, I found this site does not allow me to upload *.ogv.
Please go to my google site to download the two videos ( antialias.ogv and
no_antialias.ogv).

MRU->HDU: the Chinese characters are not displayed italic formatted as it is
done on Windows. See attached document.
Comment 5 hdu@apache.org 2009-03-04 12:16:33 UTC 
Faking attributes like boldness and slant is currently disabled when the font provides embedded bitmaps 
at these sizes. The idea was that the embedded bitmaps that are usually optimized to the last pixel 
should not be distorted.

You could disable embedded bitmaps with setting an environemt variable
   export SAL_EMBEDDED_BITMAP_PRIORITY=0
Does it help?

If yes, then maybe we should consider to disable the use of embedded bitmaps if font attributes need to 
faked.
