Inconsistent line spacing between styles in LibreOffice/OpenOffice
Using the Regular Italic style of v0.8 results in slightly tighter line spacing in LO/OO (compare line 1 to 2 vs tighter line 2 to 3 in images below). Its fine in Apples Pages so I'm not sure if it is an issue with LO itself. Heavier weights (including italics) are just fine, it only differs Regular Italic.
Might be a case of fallback font in the first line, is all characters in the first line supported by EB Garamond?
I also wonder why there is no fi ligature in “Kefir” in the LibreOffice version.
@krono @khaledhosny EB Garamond was updated on fonts.google.com a few days ago.
I can't replicate either of the lig problems in Libre Office 5.4.2.2, Mac Os 10.12.4 with the updated fonts.
Issue persists for me with otf files from 2017-10-27 in both LO 5.4.2.2 and 5.1.6.2. Seems to be related to how line hight is calculated. Marked area shows "top margin" for regular style but does not in italics.
(Weirdly there are still no ligatures used in LO 5.4.2.2 for me, but they show fine in LO 5.1.6.2 with same document. Adding ":liga=1" in 5.4 doesn't change that while ":liga=0" disables them for italics.)
LO 5.1 first, 5.4 second. Sorry for large auto-loading and -playing attachments, didn't know how to handle them better
I am experiencing the same problem as @ya-d with ligatures in LO 6.1.3 (no fi, ff, fl), but only if the text is in German. If I switch the text language to English, the ligatures are used.
// edit: Sorry, thats a bit misleading actually. The line spacing issue isn't affected by language for me and is still present in LO 6.1.0.3. I'll open a new report for ligatures in German text to keep bugs separate.
Awesome, I never figured that out! I just tried a couple of different languages and it really seems to be an issue for German only. Nice catch! Hope this can be fixed now… ;-)
