            Bug ID: 118405
           Summary: Export as PDF from Greek, using TexGyre fonts
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: libreoffice at jessesteele.net

Description:
Some fonts in other languages don't render correctly in pdf.

I created a repo with a fully-reproduced problem, example files, and in-depth
description here:
https://github.com/JesseSteele/pdf-bug

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open "Problem example.odt" in Writer
2. Click the icon "Export as PDF"
3. Look in the file and see problems with Greek word spaces on pages 3-4

Actual Results:
Greek words have unexpected spaces using the TexGyre Pagella font, but not the
standard Roman font. The unexpected spaces even push letters OUTSIDE the
margins, but the words should at least wrap. Seems double trouble to me.

Expected Results:
Greek words should not have unexpected spaces.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Exporting this to PDF in Calligra Words (using 'custom size' paper) does not
have this problem. Perhaps Calligra is on to something and "doing it
correctly". (This is how I solved the problem and published on Amazon print on
demand.)

But, as the repo explains, Calligra messes up pages when exporting from .doc.
LibreOffice produces identical results in Export to PDF, from both .odt and
.doc, thanks for the consistency guys, really!

I also had the same problem using lowriter in the terminal.
