Thank you very much for your bug report!

More or less REPRODUCIBLE with
* LibreOffice 3.5.5.3 (Build ID: 7122e39-92ed229-498d286-15e43b4-d70da21)
* LibreOffice 3.6.0.1 (Build ID: 73f9fb6)
both with German langpack installed and running on MacOS X 10.6.8 (Intel).

> Opens with black boxes at the top,
To be precise, "at the top" are the boxes only when I view the document with
LibO 3.5.5.3; in LibO 3.6.0.1, the boxes appear black (wrong) but are probably
placed at the correct position (bottom of first page and end of document).

> ugly spacing throughout the document
We should try to express this more precisely; IMHO the lines of text and
objects on page 1 take too much room (more than in MS Office, or whatever
application was used to create this form), therefore the final lines of the
address data flow to page 2 and three; and again, the table on (original) page
2 takes more room in LibreOffice than probably in the original application,
therefore the last lines of (original) page 2 flow to page 5.

So we have mostly two problems here:
(1) a problem with the boxes which appear with black background;
(2) a problem with the total size of lines and tables; probably the tables
appear bigger in LibreOffice than in the original application.


@mikchen at live.com:
Thank you again for your bug report! Do you know which application was used to
create this form (that would be good to know)?

@Urmas:
> the concept of multilingual fonts in DOC/RTF
IMHO it is not obvious why this is a problem with "multilingual fonts in
DOC/RTF". If you happen to know the reason of the problems with this file,
could you please state briefly what's wrong here with the handling of
multilingual fonts, and why this does lead to the visible problems? Thank you.
