What operating system do you use? This may as well be just a rendering artifact, rather than an actual spacing error — does exporting to PDF render fine, for example?

Correct hyphenation (as it should be)

I have the same problem.

Arch Linux, with Libreoffice 4.3.0.4. The font is Calibri, 11 pt. German text language.

When printing directly from LibreOffice on a Kyocera Mita FS 1920, the hyphenation _always_ runs into the last letter. This makes direct printing from LibreOffice absolutely useless. On the other hand, when exporting a PDF, the spacing is not too narrow, but on the other hand slightly too large. This is still somewhat usable, but looks slightly weird.

I have attached three images which show the problem. Only the last one hyphenation-3-correct.png is correct. I have manually written the words in LO Writer like this:

Wirt-
Zusätz-
inter-

It would be extremely good if this is fixed. Currently this makes LO close to unusable for serious usage at the moment.

Is there any reaction to this bug report?

I have the slight suspicion that this issue arises because the font "OpenSymbol" is used, which does not go well with Calibri. I don't know why LibreOffice uses OpenSymbol, even if I use Calibri for the main font.

Hi all,

I copied and Paste without issue:

May be this is related to bug #76014. Then you should be able to workaround this problem by changing the the system default printer BEFORE LO START to another one.

Status NEW because of confirmation in comment 5
version set to 4.3.0.4 and O/S to Linux

I'd like to know from affected user if they still experience this in LibO 4.3.5.2

I can reproduce this bug in LibreOffice 4.3.3.2, 4.3.5.2 and in the forthcoming version 4.4.0.2 under Kubuntu 14.10 (64 bit). This bug is also reproducible under Knoppix 7.4.2 (Live-USB) and CentOS 7.0-1406 (Live-USB) with a Canon MG5350.

Today I have reinstalled my whole system and I have now a fresh formatted, clean Kubuntu 14.10 system. The bug is still reproducible.

Fortunately a workaround exists: When I change the printer language (in the printer dialogue) from the default setting "PDF" to "PostScript (driver level)", the text is been printed properly.

When I print text with 600 dpi, the hyphens overlapp with the text on the left. When I print with 2400 dpi resolution, the space between the hyphen and the text is IMHO too wide. The problem appears at manual hyphenation as well as at automatic hyphenation.

I have attached two PNG files.

I can confirm this behavior in LibreOffice Writer 4.3.3.2 on 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04. I have experienced it with fonts other than those mentioned, specifically with FreeSerif and its companions.

Because of other quirks with LibreOffice dual-sided printing, I always export to pdf and print from Acrobat Reader, so this isn't such a big deal for me, but I agree that it is annoying.
