OK maybe not exactly what you were looking for, but attached is a Gimp image with two layers. (OK attachment was to big and the mail bounced; picture can be found at http://www.erwinrol.com/ooo.xcf) By changing the alpha channel of the "FC Rawhide" layer you can fade the XP rendering and the FC rendering. I whited out things like prices, bankaccounts and client name/address. This shows how the font height has changed a lot. The older FC3, FC4,FC5 and rawhide systems all rendered the page like XP is still doing.These pictures are screenshots from a 1600x1200 display, OOo displayed the document at 75% zoom. As you can see the width is almost pixel perfect. > Hypothetically, if OOo in FC5 rendered differently than on Windows, would > you consider it a bug or a problem if it were changed for FC6 to render > closer (even identical) to Windows but this made it different from FC5 > and earlier? I see a WYSIWYG word processor like a painting program. When I create a painting with gimp, I expect it to look the same when I open it with photoshop. Of course there might be tiny difference like photoshop might use another JPG decoder and so maybe some pixels have a bit of a difference. If i would not want this i should use another picture format. The same with word processors, there might be some tiny differences in how the font is rendered, but not like now that one page fits about 5 lines less (that are than move to the next page). Now earlier FC5 and Windows look almost the same, but newer FC5 and Rawhide look very different from Windows and earlier FC5. - Erwin -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
