media-libs/freetype 2.3.3, 2.3.4-r2 - bad distances beetween characters (especially before letter "i") in PDFs exported from openoffice (2.1.x or 2.2.x, probably older also), especially when using Times New Roman font from media-fonts/liberation-fonts-ttf (but not only, also I noticed problems for example with gentium font). The workaround is to install older or newer media-libs/freetype (e.g. fortunately there is no problem with <=media-libs/freetype-2.1.10-r3 or =media-libs/freetype-2.3.5). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run oowriter and type something using Times New Roman. 2. Export PDF. Actual Results: Some characters (1 per 1000?) in exported PDF have broken distance before. There is no rule that for example each "i" is broken -- but the bug causes enough often to make PDF exporting useless. Expected Results: Well formated text in exported PDF. # emerge --info Portage 2.1.2.12 (default-linux/x86/2006.1, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r4, 2.6.22.1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.22.1 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9 Timestamp of tree: Tue, 21 Aug 2007 13:00:01 +0000 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.33-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.21 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-pipe -O1 -fomit-frame-pointer -mtune=pentium4 -march=pentium4 -mfpmath=sse" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php4/ext-active/ /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php4/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php4/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-pipe -O1 -fomit-frame-pointer -mtune=pentium4 -march=pentium4 -mfpmath=sse" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LC_ALL="pl_PL.UTF-8" LINGUAS="pl" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/portage/local/layman/pro-audio" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="7zip X aac aalib acl acpi alsa apache2 audiofile bash-completion berkdb bindist bitmap-fonts bluetooth bootsplash bzip2 cairo calendar caps cdparanoia cdr cli cracklib crypt css cups curl curlwrappers dba divx dri dvd dvdr dvdread dvi ethereal exif expat extras ffmpeg flac fltk fluidsynth font-server foomaticdb gcj gd gdbm gg gif gimp gimpprint glut gmedia gmp gnutls gpgme gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 iconv icq idn imagemagick imap inkjar iproute2 irc irmc isdnlog jabber jack java jpeg jpeg2k kdepim kipi ladcca ladspa lame lash lcms libgda mbox midi mikmod mmx mng modplug moznocompose moznoirc moznomail mozsvg mp3 mp4 mpeg mpeg2 mplayer mudflap multiuser musepack musicbrainz ncurses net nls noamazon nodrm nptl nptlonly nsplugin objc ogg openal openexr opengl openmp operanom2 overlays pam pcre pdf perl plugin plugins png pnp ppds pppd python qt3 qt4 quicktime readline real realmedia reflection reiserfs ruby samba sasl seamonkey session slang slp smime sndfile sounds soundtouch sox spamassassin speex spell spl sse sse2 ssl svg tcltk tcpd tetex theora threads tidy tiff timidity tk tlen tokenizer truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb userlocales vim vim-syntax visualization vorbis vst wifi win32codecs wmf wmp x86 xattr xine xml xml2 xorg xprint xrandr xscreensaver xvid zip zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="pl" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="i810 vga vesa" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LDFLAGS, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
2.3.5 is already stable on all arches and 2.3.6 is on its way. I suppose this bug is fixed. Thank you for report anyway.
