![]() ![]() On Linux I have never seen font issues and the UI looks very nice. The font issues that you mentioned affect mainly Windows (and maybe Mac, but I couldn't tell). This is the best way to make sure you're heard. What I do is keep filing bug reports and enhancement requests. I understand your point and I could also list a number of things that are wrong in LibreOffice that should have been fixed years ago. So what is going on here? Why the blind spot in such an otherwise admirable project? ![]() ![]() And in all the years of using countless programs, no other program on any platform stumbles so consistently. The only way to minimize or practically eliminate it is to make the font very large. Changing fonts, even to the built-in ones, has no effect. I thought for certain the birth of LibreOffice and more dynamic development would at last fix this. Clients always wanted me to come back and "fix" the program because of this type of thing. Inexplicable gaps between letters within a word, or random letters that are jammed right up against each other. Spacing and kerning are so mismanaged that I shake my head. I encouraged clients to think about the cost savings and temporarily overlook problems as the project matured.īut 18 years later, they still haven't fixed the most obvious and ugly font rendering problems. In the early years, I actively promoted and installed it at all the client sites supported by my IT company. Most of that time as my exclusive word processor. I've used Open/LibreOffice consistently since 2002 on Windows, Linux, and Mac. Can we please talk about the elephant in the room and why many people don't take LibreOffice seriously.
