In writer the same odt file presents different horizontal character spacing between different PCs. This means sharing the document for editing is not necessarily possible. In the manual I am editing at present the difference adds 4 pages. The font used is installed from the same font file. Nothing is inherited from the default paragraph style.It seems likely to have something to do with the font you are using, so more details would be helpful. When considering different machines, what do you mean by 'the same font file'? Specifically what is the full path of the font file, and have you compared the files on the different machines (using e.g. diff)? Also what versions of writer are you using?Thanks for the tips Versions of Writer. PCs with wider character spacing. Linux Opensuse 15.5, LO 24.2.4.2, Intel and Nvidia graphics card Macbook Air, Monterey 12.7.6, LO 24.2.5.2 PCs with narrower spacing. Linux Opensuse 15.5, LO 24.2.4.2, Intel and Nvidia graphics card Windows Laptop, Win 10.0, LO 24.2.3.2 The Font is Roboto-Regular.ttf. The font was installed from the same .ttf file. The Macbook (with wide spacing) and the Win10 laptop (narrow spacing) both have only the one version of Roboto-Regular.ttf, the same size. The Opensuse machines both have the same font as above installed in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/Roboto-Regular.ttf The Opensuse machine displaying closer characters has a different version of the font in /home/steve/Qt/6.6.2/Src/qtwebengine/src/3rdparty/chromium/third_ party/skia/tools/perf-canvaskit- puppeteer/canvas_perf_assets/Roboto-Regular.ttf The Opensuse machine displaying wider spaced characters has a different version of the font in ./fonts/truetype/Roboto- Regular.ttf. This may be the issue, I will remove it and check.The duplicate of the font has been removed from the Opensuse machine displaying wider spaced characters and no difference is observed making this PC the same as the Macbook with only one copy of the font.I have done a little more detailed comparison between the document on the Macbook and the Linux machine displaying narrower character spacing. The line spacing on the Macbook is also greater than on the Linux machine, I get 2 fewer lines on a page. Is there a setting that affects the font size that overrides the paragraph style, no character style is applied. SteveHi Steve, This is probably not it, but in work for a translation client who produces large files I discovered that on one of my machines in Settings>Load>General I had the first box ticked that applies the users format to the document. That was slowing the loading time and changing the number of pp. I would also check that the compatibility options for Writer are the same on your machines. Interesting problem. Hope you find the solution. Best, Roy
Thanks Roy. I may have a way to resolve the issue.Settings>Load>General are the same. Compatibility options are the same. Thanks for the suggestions.
In short, the document with the issue has paragraphs that are bulleted using the bullet button in the tool bar. I found that by turning these bullets off and using a bullet list style instead adjusted to the same measurements as the button list the document that showed wider character spacing and increased line spacing on the mac now displays the same as the Linux and Win10 machines with the narrower character spacing. I will check the other Linux machine tomorrow.
