RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Christoph Karl 2023-08-11 09:23:24 UTC
Description of problem:
Using ArialMT in LibreOffice documents gives bad output in PDF files.
The lines are printed too wide, which changes the line break and even the page breaks.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
liberation-sans-fonts-2.1.3-4.el9.noarch


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
>fc-match arialmt
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"


Actual results:
>fc-match arialmt
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"

Expected results:
>fc-match arialmt
LiberationSans-Regular.ttf: "Liberation Sans" "Regular"


Additional info:
This seems to be correct (at least) in RHEL 7:
>cat /etc/fonts/conf.d/59-liberation-sans.conf 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "../fonts.dtd">

Seems this error was already corrected for RHEL 7:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1193457

Comment 2 Christoph Karl 2023-08-25 07:55:35 UTC
I created a ODT to reproduce this BZ, see attached.
"text-arialmt-correct" was created with the font mapping from "Additional info".

Comment 7 RHEL Program Management 2023-09-05 16:17:36 UTC
This BZ has been automatically migrated to the issues.redhat.com Red Hat Issue Tracker. All future work related to this report will be managed there.

To find the migrated issue, look in the "Links" section for a direct link to the new issue location. The issue key will have an icon of 2 footprints next to it, and begin with "RHEL-" followed by an integer.  You can also find this issue by visiting https://issues.redhat.com/issues/?jql= and searching the "Bugzilla Bug" field for this BZ's number, e.g. a search like:

"Bugzilla Bug" = 1234567
