Is that the case?įontForge shows both files have a GPOS table. It sounds like you are saying there is no kerning table support in HarfBuzz at all. Then when you send the document back they will still see Times New Roman.ġ. So the visual you see should be the same metrics and kerning they see. The font selector in the toolbar will still say Times New Roman,īut you will actually be looking at and working with Liberation Serif If you check both boxes it will not replace the font in the file,īut you will see and use Liberation Serif locally. Need to get Ubuntu installed in a VM to test some other stuff. See the attachment I added above: Times New Roman vs. In my font tests (multiple) I did not find any visual differences. The font summary maximum and minimum character widths changed which I assume changed because of all the new characters added not from changing any old characters. 1320 glyphs in the old file because they added more languages and characters. I found nothing that would explain the visual differences you describe. I spent hours trying to find any difference in these font files. Kerning should be used like in versions prior to 5.3 There is no kerning in pairs like Vo, Te, Av, etc. Other programs like Firefox still show all the kerning pairs. Furthermore the font is no longer metrically compatible to Liberation Serif and Tinos anymore, but only in Libreoffice.
#FONTFORGE KERNING NOT WORKING WINDOWS#
It used to work in versions prior to 5.3, it's also showing this behavior when running the windows version of 5.3 in wine. Is this a side effect of the new layout engine? I'm on Linux and are using the font from the MS Core Fonts for the Web, hence version 2.82 from 2000, so they're quite old. So opening old documents results in changed line breaks, changed paragraph breaks and changed page breaks. Starting in Version 5.3, Writer doesn't use the kerning information of Times New Roman anymore.
