Title:
  LibreOffice has serious kerning issues with characters' display of
  font, bold, italic

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I run in to distorted text in LibreOffice, depending on zoom level. At
  first I thought it was a LO-bug, but now I have found that I don't get
  this issues when I run the AMD proprietary driver (fglrx). So I think
  it might be a problem in the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver. I have a
  Radeon HD 8600M series in a Lenovo S540.

  The attached file shows an example of the bug that I had in Calc. The
  bottom right is the 'normal' text. Three lines, with the bottom one in
  bold. Depending on the zoom level, the text is distorted in many ways:
  bold / italic / font (appearance).

  Some extra information:
  -This happens in all LO-apps I use: Calc, Writer, Impress.
  -I don't have a clear way of reproducing it. The apps normally start out perfectly fine. After a while this can happen, not always. Risk factors seem to include having multiple LO-files open, especially between different apps.
  -It is not always that the 100% zoom level is ok. That can be distorted too.
  -This never ever happens in any other app / program I use.

  If this is unlikely to be caused by the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver,
  I apologize for reporting it here. If you need additional information,
  please let me know, I will be happy to provide.

  Required info:
  1) Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
  2) xserver-xorg-video-ati Installed: 1:7.3.0-1ubuntu3.1
