Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org-impress

Last week I made presentations in OpenOffice.org Impress in Ubuntu Dapper (amd64). Exporting to PDF works fine. If I export the same presentations to PDF now in Feisty (amd64), the background is not rendered correctly.

It's very easy to reproduce the problem: create a new presentation, choose the Human template. Just add some text and then export to PDF.

In Impress (2.2.0~rc3~oof680m10-0ubuntu3) it looks like this

I have a similar problem, using the "glossy" template, the graphics in the "title bar" area of the template are not exported correctly to pdf. Again, easy to reproduce, createa new presentation using the "glossy" template, add some text to the tiltle area, save, and then export as PDF. The output will be incorrect. I have repeated this procedure on two different machines, one running Feisty x64, and the other Feisty 32-bit.

Note that the bug status has changed from confirmed -> In progress. The OpenOffice bugs site itself has set target for the fix in OO.org 2.3. That probably means that we will be stuck with this bug when using Feisty..

It seems that this is connected to a wider problem: OpenOffice doesn't handle the bold face of some fonts correctly. I've tried with Arial and Arial Unicode MS. First works, second doesn't in bold face.
 Here comes Arial....

Do this problem still occur for you on Ubuntu 7.10 OpenOffice 2.3.0?

No, it seems to be working correctly. I tested it with the presentation that
I originally had the problem with, as well as a new one I made more
recently. Yay! Thanks for following up on this, I had completely forgotten
that I had touched this bug...
