Some progress: I tried to compare the strace of the process on both Ubuntu and Lubuntu, which was not feasible due to a very different set of Libraries under Ubuntu (gnome) and Lubunt (Qt).
In order to neutralize these differences I started libreoffice with the environment variables completely wiped (except vor PATH and DISPLAY) and the bug does not occur. So the problem is somehow caused by different environment variables. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1881364 Title: broken kerning Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi, I am just trying to debug a problem with impress I have after upgrading from 18.04 to 20.04: On some, not on all slides, text becomes - unreadable due to negative kerning, i.e. characters are shifted so close together that they are overlapping - one slide even invisible. Strangely, the effect occurs - with libreoffice as a debian package - with libreoffice as an AppImage downloaded from libreoffice.org - *but not* with libreoffice as a snap (which doesn't solve the problem because of other problems of accessing local fonts) Unfortunately, I can't give the slides as an example, they're strictly confidential. But I'm trying to build an example. Just to bring people together who experience the same problem.
