<pre>Description:
LibreOffice Writer does not render text properly. Characters show up as
pixelized, thinner than normal, not crispy. This is especially relative to the
same text typed in other programs, such as Microsoft Word 2019, Google Docs,
and iCloud Pages. This issue occurs regardless of whether antialiasing and
OpenGL are enabled. Problems with font rendering have been reported multiple
times (here, here, and here, to name a few).
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a new LibreOffice Writer document.
2.Set the zoom factor at 100%.
3.Use common typefaces, such as Calibri and Times New Roman, at small (12 pt)
and large (25 pt) fonts.
4.Type anything in English. Preferably, make it a big block of text so the
effect is seen more clearly.
5.(Optional): Repeat the same steps above in Microsoft Word 2007 or above. Then
compare.
Actual Results:
Writing looks pixelated, thinner than normal, kerning is irregular, is not
crispy.
Expected Results:
Words and letters should look clear, crispy, and with regular kerning, from
100% zoom. As it already happens in other word processors like Microsoft Word.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
OpenGL enabled: Yes
