Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 481
Strange spacing for text involving quotes & apostrophes
Last modified: 2003-12-06 14:52:34 UTC
Some text is printed with possessive s's prepended to the following word, and space added after open-quote. See the attached sdw and pdf files for example. The sdw file displays perfectly - it is ionly the printed output that is at fault. The print failures occur using Acrobat Distiller, HP Laserjet and Epson Ink jet printers.

Ulf, please have a look.
There seems to be a problem of formatting the text for the printer output if "Pair kerning" (Format -> Character: TabPage: Position) is enabled. Disabling Pair kerning workarounds the problem.
Unfortunately I am unable to turn off pair kerning in my document; changing it in either 'Format->Character' or stylist then clicking OK results in no change. Going back into the dialog, Pair Kerning is still clicked.
The code for pair-kerning has been changed completely since OOo627. So please verify again in a 627 and comment. Does your issue still exist?
This seems to be fixed in V627. Thanks.
This task is fixed or worked in OOo 1.1 beta2.
