It provides a symbol “cmap” subtable that does > not have a mapping for space character. Since the font does not support the > space character as far as we are concerned we use a fallback font for it, > and it will most likely have a different width. > > I don’t know how other office applications are handling this, one possible > explanation is that they are not doing any font fallback for fonts with > symbol “cmap” subtable, which in turn will cause them to use the glyph for > unsupported characters (glyph 0) which happens to be a white (empty) square > in this font. This also why this font works in Scribus since it does not do > any fallback for missing characters. I tried AbiWord but it gave me similar > rendering as LibreOffice. I tested the font "Chess Alpha" with the Software AbiWord 2.9.4, no problems there.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
