Description Florian Dittmer 2007-01-15 08:16:38 UTC
Hallo,

I have been using OpenOffice-bin 2.0.3 for writing documents using Korean language.

After I upgraded to OpenOffice-bin 2.1 , the fonts are displayed differently. Wherever my korean text is marked as BOLD, it is displayed way TOO bold, causing linebreaks etc. Non-bold text seems to be as before.

I will try to attach screenshots of the same document opened in each version of OpenOffice.


Reproducible: Always

Compiled Writer 2.1.0 showing same doc by only2sea

Hello. Guten Tag!

I opened the file with my OpenOffice 2.1 writer. My bold "Batang" font is between the two. Little bit thicker than that of your 2.0.3 but not as thicker as that of your 2.1.

I compiled OpenOffice because there were some font problem other than this(Sorry I didn't test Batang bold problem then. But I think I might have same problem if I installed binary one, I will test it.) I have fewer font problem with compiled one, but I see I have more problems like "help" function, etc here.

Anyway, IMHO, the font looks emboldened or at least not using its own bold font. Batang already has its own bold font but I guess OpenOffice doesn't seem to be using it. It is drawing it bold from normal font with some kind of algorithm, not using already bolden font. If so, the font usually looks uglier.

Yeah, there a differences in how openoffice and openoffice-bin handle fonts, but the main problem (fonts being displayed as "too bold") is an upstream issue, which should be filed here instead:
