KOffice doesn't do the font rendering, so there is nothing we can do. Hm, well, can you reassign this bug to whatever does the font rendering? Qt or Kdelibs or whatever? Okay, reported a Qt bug: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-10615 This is what I got from the Qt developers: "Qt's text rendering is mainly for UI purposes and we cannot attempt to compete with typographical grade text applications, so I'm closing this task as out of scope." I'm wondering how much an office suite can do with a backend for text rendering that doesn't consider itself typographical grade. I think Koffice developers should look into using something other than Qt itself to render the text, since, according to Qt developers, the toolkit is obviously not meant for any kind of complex text rendering. |
