Bug Description
Linux Libertine 5.1.3 and Libreoffice 3.5.x (I've tested 3.5.3 and 3.5.4) don't play well together. On screen everthing looks nice, but on printout the distances between the letters are completly distored. The printout is hard to read and looks ugly. I've seen this on all our machines (at the moment 7) where Ubuntu 12.04 is installed. Printer is always a Brother MFC 8640N
Older Ubuntu releases e.g. 10.04 and 11.10 (with older Libreoffice, OpenOffice and Linux Libertine, ) print as they should, as did every Ubuntu release in the past.
Solution is to use the Linux Libertine G variant from here http://
It looks like Libreoffice 3.5.x uses the graphite engine with Linux Libertine, regardless if the font is fittet for graphite or not.
