Problem with a Font
Font: Chess Alpha
Source (Freeware Font): http://www.enpassant.dk/chess/downl/alpha.zip

Error description

Several chess fonts are using ASCII 32 for printing the white squares of a chess diagram.
I discovered that i get a problem with the font "Chess Alpha". The white squares are too small, they have the width of a normal blank character, but not th width of the black square and the other figurines.

This problem occurs only with OpenOffice and LibreOffice.
I tested with MS Word in (several versions), MS WordPad, SoftMaker FreeOffice, AbiWord, Scribus: no broblem with the white square there.

Font: Chess Alpha
Source (Freeware Font): http://www.enpassant.dk/chess/downl/alpha.zip

Kind regards,

Your screenshot shows that document is in RTF format.
Try to use ODT.

Please excuse, i don't understand.
What should i try, please?

There is a chess font, ALPHA.TTF
This is a TrueType font.

Yes, the source file is a RTF file.

But if i use this font in a new, empty document, the problem with white squares occurs. I think this has nothing to do with the RTF document format.
It seems this is a rendering problem.

Thanks!

Opened a FRTF file with Textmaker. No problem with the TrueType font "Chess Alpha".

Saved the file in ODT format.

Opened this file with OpenOffice.

The Screenshots shows the result.
