[Bug 770707] Re: Kerning error in outline rendering

 

I made up a slide with outline and shadow, and it consistently shows the
shadow being misplaced in relation to the face (I'm using Webkit 533.3).

However, with the problem showing up on air, if I click on the live
output, giving it focus, the text repositions itself and corrects the
problem. This ONLY happens when clicking on the live output, and is
repeatable.

Title:
  Kerning error in outline rendering

Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Currently the outline rendering uses a kerning different from the 'shadow' one. Thus it happens, that the 'outline characters' and the 'shadow characters' are shifted towards each other.
  To show the effect one has to create a theme with a outline. It depends on the words if this happens. So you might have to look at a couple of different slides.
  Sample configuration: Main area font: DejaVu Sans | 34pt | bold | outline 1pt
  It looks, that there are basic differences in the kerning algorithms, as the problem is strong at characters like a capital 'T' followed by a half height letter.
