Description tombil 2006-01-02 21:38:36 UTC 
Hi,
I find following mistake in graphics text object, as rectangle or
graphic text frame, in Writer:

For some win basics fonts (especially Arial, 5-6pt sized), used inside
graphic text frame or rectangle, when file is reopen, broke down
char spacing and line spacing. 

For demonstrating I attach two files. 

Thanks
   Tomas Bilek

I can confirm that the attached odt exhibits some unusual narrow char spacing in 
the framed objects, so confirmed on Windows XP Pro SP2 with OOo 2.0.1

MRU->FME: I do not know if this is a Writer or more a Draw issue. But fact is,
that it looks, that the text in the drawing text objects is displayed with a
wrong character spacing.

In OO 1.x the difference between body text and text in the object was not this
heavy.

FME->HDU: Any idea what's going on here?

@tombil: Thank you very much isolating this problem and for the great sample
document, which made reproducing and debugging this much easier.

@fme: the "normal" text is formatted using the reference device. The textbox
text is formatted for the display device at 100% zoom, but displayed at 270%
zoom in the bugdoc. In numbers: the 120twips font is 720 pixels on the Writer
refdev => nice formatting. The font is 8 pixels high on the textbox's refdev (a
screendev with 100% zoom) but 23 pixels for real screendevice (which in the
bugdoc is set to 270% zoom) => rounding issues aplenty...
