            Bug ID: 108785
           Summary: text kerning values too small
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

libre office draw:
issue is in text properties. spesification of space between characters. In
typographic industry they call it kerning. You can also speak of making text
tight (or loose if you wish to increase character spacing). The bad thing is
that in libreoffice draw (happens also in impress and writer) negative spacing
(when making text tight) value is restricted, maximum beeing -2,0 pt. this is
far too small value to be used when you have big pointsize for text. I eg.
tried times new roman bold in size 96pt and this maximum kerning value -2.0pt
is not enough for decent look. It should be around -8.0pt. For your
consideration: in Open Office draw (that I used before Libreoffice) you could
do that (in 96 pt I am allowed to use max -18.0 pt).
