devs,

    okular has come a long way in the 4.3 release, but it has 2 very annoying bugs in its odt backend.

(1) simple text indention or tab alignment is not rendered correctly. Instead of showing the text properly aligned as it is in oo-writer, the indented text is jumbled leftward as if it were just spaced over using a fixed-width font and then viewed in a proportional font. The sample document I was viewing was:

http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/data/TRIAL-JuryCharge.odt

(it's public domain)

    Properly aligning text with the set tabs or indentions seems like something very basic. Trying to use okular as a viewer without proper alignment really defeats the whole purpose of okular as a quick-viewer for odt files. (I really like the concept, if I just need to look at an odt file, I would much prefer the speed of okular than waiting for OpenOffice to load).


(2) okular renders .odt documents in some whacky 'outline" font causing the text to look like the font-color had been changed to 60% gray. This is unexpected. Ocular should render .odt documents in the proper font (at the very minimum until this is fixed, okular should render in a normal black system font like serif, sans serif, courier or monospace [depending on what's being rendered])

    Fixing these will go a long way to making okular a solid versital document viewer.
