            Bug ID: 120011
           Summary: Certain special font symbols stretch 17 cm
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.1.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
When I insert special caracters, using certain TrueType TTF fonts, within my
text, these symbols stretch about 17 cm down my page.  The TTF fonts I have
trouble with all come from a CorelDraw 9 CD.  I even recopied these fonts from
the original CD into the C:\WINDOWS\FONTS folder.  I tried converting my ODT to
a DOCX file but the problem remains.  I even created a new ODT document ... the
problem remains.  Nothing helped.  Standard Windows fonts such as Webding and
the three Wingding fonts work perfectly.

This bug started about 8 months ago.  I just upgraded to LibreOffice 6.1.1.2
and my problem remains.  Please note that my problem, when opening the same ODT
file in OpenOffice 4.1.5, everything is perfect ... no stretched symbols.  I'm
using a 64 bits Windows 10 version 1803 on a HP notebook.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new document.
2. Click Insert then Special Charaters.
3. Select Arrows 1 or Food or Household font and insert a symbol.

Actual Results:
Some special characters stretch to 17 cm long.

Expected Results:
Should remain the standard font size selected for the rest of the text (ex.
12).


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
