If you > can reproduce it with some free font, you can create a new issue. The main reason I use Palatino Linotype is because it presents well in a printed 6 x 9 inch book format and 'seems' to display the same in both Linux and Windows. Although i used to regularly use a Win 7 system, now I rarely do, and have to make special arrangements to do so - thus the delay in giving my last response. I'm not familiar with what fonts come in a standard Windows installation that would also be the same in a standard Linux installation, so I don't know what font I can convert a document to so I can do a comparison. I do know that the Windows fonts I used to use, like Time New Roman and Courier, are very similar to, but not exactly the same as the Linux equivalents. If you can tell me of a font that's free to use in both and either in the standard installation or easy to get, I can do tests with that. ........... Some background on why I lodged this in the first place. I've been using Libre Office on both Linux and Windows systems for many years, I think the first version I used was LO 3 something - I can't remember that far back too well. I was using Open Office before that. I gave up on using MS Word when I had to upgrade from Win XP with Word 6a. After looking at costs and trying out the latest crappy Windows and Word offerings I built a Linux system using Ubuntu, and have since moved onto using Zorin Linux. However, I spent a lot of time at another place doing volunteer working keeping an eye things and using their Windows XP, and later Windows 7 systems to work on my stories. They let me load first Open Office and then Libre Office on the system there. The stories and files opened exactly the same on both system until I upgraded to LO 5.2.2.2 on both systems, and then experienced the problem I raised this bug about. I dealt with the issue by adjusting some of the page settings and revising some of the wording to make the text fall back into nice pages again. However, about 5 months back I ceased working where I used the Win 7 system, so it ceased to be an issue for me, and that's why I have issues checking things on a Win 7 system now. It no longer affects me, and it appears to be resolved (as best as i can tell). But I don't know enough to be sure because it in a 50,000 word document it still affected two pages where a single paragraph ran over 600 words and it pushed one or two short words over onto a new line to create a re-pagination and a very odd looking orphan. I suspect the issue may be related to the way the font spacing is in Windows, but can't prove if it is or isn't - I just don't have the training to go further with it.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
