I do not have any problems on windows and the screenshots seem more to be from Linux... So I change the OS setting and priority.
On linux I can reproduce the behaviour with the fonts charter, Times, Symbol, New Century Schoolbook, Helvetica.
Reassigned to Andre. Please have a look.
This may be a problem with bitmap fonts that are not available in the desired sizes. On some Linuxes the mentioned fonts are bitmap fonts. However, the visual effect should not be as large as shown in the screenshots.
Please have a look.
Works with "Charter" on some systems I tested.
I cannot reproduce this on my GNU Linux system (unstable, 2.6.8 kernel, with very recent updates). The charter font (not bold) has the following bitmap representations (xlsfonts): -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--10-100-75-75-p-55-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--10-100-75-75-p-55-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--11-80-100-100-p-60-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--11-80-100-100-p-60-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--12-120-75-75-p-65-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--12-120-75-75-p-65-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--14-100-100-100-p-76-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--14-100-100-100-p-76-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--15-140-75-75-p-82-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--15-140-75-75-p-82-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--17-120-100-100-p-92-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--17-120-100-100-p-92-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--19-140-100-100-p-103-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--19-140-100-100-p-103-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--19-180-75-75-p-103-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--19-180-75-75-p-103-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--25-180-100-100-p-136-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--25-180-100-100-p-136-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--25-240-75-75-p-136-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--25-240-75-75-p-136-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--33-240-100-100-p-179-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--33-240-100-100-p-179-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--8-80-75-75-p-44-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-normal--8-80-75-75-p-44-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-p-56-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-p-56-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--11-80-100-100-p-61-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--11-80-100-100-p-61-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-67-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-67-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--14-100-100-100-p-78-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--14-100-100-100-p-78-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-p-84-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-p-84-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-95-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-95-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--19-140-100-100-p-106-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--19-140-100-100-p-106-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--19-180-75-75-p-106-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--19-180-75-75-p-106-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--25-180-100-100-p-139-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--25-180-100-100-p-139-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--25-240-75-75-p-139-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--25-240-75-75-p-139-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--33-240-100-100-p-183-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--33-240-100-100-p-183-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--8-80-75-75-p-45-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal--8-80-75-75-p-45-iso8859-2 -bitstream-charter-normal-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -bitstream-charter-normal-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 The fonts in slides look nice, also the preview with very small sizes. When I redirect the output to a different X-server (Sun-Ray), I can reproduce the problems. I also get problems in the edit view with charter 24pt.
With these results, I think it is reasonable to retarget this issue to OOo Later. (Andre/af also agreed with this decision). BM->HDU: As discussed with you, I send you this issue for further examination. There is a difference between using the printer as reference device, and an internal virtual device (with 600dpi). With the printer, the rendering looks better. Note: In our debugging session we found out that the mnMapScDenomX of the virtual device might get a very large value, resulting in very small font sizes.
