Description Joe Smith 2006-08-10 08:13:28 UTC

Character spacing errors become more pronounced with larger point-size text. Up
to about 400 points, there is no apparent error in the spacing between
characters. At 800 points, the letters clearly overlap.

Also, if I insert vertical graphic lines, anchored "As Character", to show the
boundaries between characters, the character spacing is changed (even narrower)
compared to having no graphics inserted.

This is shown in the attached document and screenshot.

The problem is apparent in 2.0.2 and 2.0.3 on Linux, but NOT in 2.0.2 on Windows98.

The same problem appears in the document and screenshot attached to Issue 68317.

MRU->HDU: on the last page of the document the problem is visible the best.
There you can see that large characters sligtly overlap.

In following attached file I have demonstrated the same problem with Courier
font.  I use OO v.2.0.4 under Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 - kernel version 2.6.17-10-generic. 
If you set the cursor between each pair of N you see as the font size increases
the right N edge is porportionaly getting closer to the cursor. Changing the
view zoom did not have any affect on these results.

Comment 7 hdu@apache.org 2007-02-05 12:52:02 UTC

hdu->hdu reminder: this happens when the height of the selected font exceeds 64k
pixels on the reference device

Comment 8 hdu@apache.org 2007-02-05 13:18:02 UTC

For the >64k case mentionioned above the resulting logical width is clipped to
the corresponding width at the pixel height for 0xFFFF by freetype:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/freetype/freetype2/src/base/ftobjs.c?r1=1.245&r2=1.246
(=> this problem can be reproduced for freetype versions >=2.2.0rc4 or <=2.1.10)
