Small Caps Overlapping

[lls]

Any solution?

[Robert]

Hi,
2 solutions:
1. Select the overlapping characters, then press "Ctrl+Alt+Right" to expand text.
2. Try using a different font.
Hope this helps.

Thank you.

So it's a bug.
Any plans to fix it?

I cannot reproduce any overlapping, no matter which fonts I try.

It's not a bug. No one else but you has ever reported such a problem yet!

Please have a look at the screen capture below. It shows the same text under Arial Unicode MS, Times New Roman, and Verdana on one of our PCs. Each third line is formatted with small caps.

There might be several reasons why small caps are overlapping on your system, and maybe in a particular document:

- You use a non-standard poorly-designed font. Which font type and size are you using?

- Character spacing might be defined as "compressed" in that document, or portion of document. What do you see if you select the overlapping characters and click "Format | Font... > Spacing"? Is "Scaling" set to 100%, and "Spacing" to "Normal"?

Size: 16.

Yes.

What is your operating system? Are you using the latest version of Atlantis?

OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Atlantis: 1.6.1.6

The small caps that overlap in Atlantis do not overlap in OpenOffice for me.

I suspect this could be related to selecting "Small/Large Fonts" for XP's Desktop settings. (Can remember, but I think it's "Large Fonts".) Right-click on an empty part of your desktop and select Properties | Settings | Advanced. Look in the "Display" section, in the DPI setting drop-down box.

Is your screen LCD or CRT? If it's LCD, is resolution the "native" resolution (manufacturer's recommended value)?

@ dosdan
My setting is "normal fonts".
