If I remove all my printers I don't reproduce yet.

Does it make any difference to run with

export SAL_DISABLE_CUPS=1

?

Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2023-04-03 10:25:06 UTC
I can reproduce in F38 Live WS (eg Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-38-20230402.n.0.iso)

eg with the text: 朝昼晩夜

and then print to pdf and I see badly overlapping characters like in comment 1.

Comment 5 Peng Wu 2023-04-03 10:47:15 UTC
Yes, with SAL_DISABLE_CUPS=1, I can reproduce this issue with some printer configured.

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 38 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 38 on 2024-05-21.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '38'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 38 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 7 Peng Wu 2024-05-13 08:35:35 UTC
I think there are some fixes in LibreOffice upstream.
