Screen shot with bug.

Problem description: 

If you use the Option "LibreOffice > Fonts > Apply replacement table" in order to replace fonts the character width is not adjusted to the replacement fonts. In order to reproduce the bug do:
[1] Start with no font replacements and open a new text document,
[2] Choose a font with a small character width (e.g. Linux Libertine G) and type in some text,
[3] Replace this font by a font with broad characters (e.G. Engravers MT): Tools > Options... > LibreOffice > Fonts > Apply replacement table. Result see Attachment.

Problem also exists if you print the document.

But with:
[1] Start with no font replacements and open a new text document,
[2] Replace a font with small characters (e.g. Linux Libertine G) by a font with broad characters (e.G. Engravers MT): Tools > Options... > LibreOffice > Fonts > Apply replacement table,
[3] Choose the font with small characters and type in some text,
the result is OK!

Problem also observed with Draw. (In my system there is a problem with Linux Libertine G in Draw. Perhaps it is better to use another font.)

Problem observed with Version 3.4.5 and 3.5.0.

I can also confirm this:

Bodhi Linux
LibO: 3.6.1.2

I believe that this is a duplicate -- I vaguely remember confirming something similar a few weeks back. I'm unable to find the other bug but if someone happens to stumble across the other one, please mark one of them as a duplicate of the other. 

Marking as NEW and prioritizing:

Minor: Makes creating high quality work harder under certain circumstances and/or forces users not to use certain features

Low: Not a very common feature at all, most users have no idea this feature even exists. Impact on users probably low because of this.

ProposedEasyHack added

Thanks for reporting.

Comment 3 Joel Madero 2014-02-27 23:03:31 UTC

In order to limit the confusion between ProposedEasyHack and EasyHack and to make queries much easier we are changing ProposedEasyHack to NeedsDevEval.

Thank you and apologies for the noise
