Hi!
  One of modules which I'm polling with a big importance is koffice.
  I see that many features are being added, but there are now some basic
problems, which render its components unusable.
  For example, in kword, I have a very big problems with fonts.
  Whenever I open a document (kword native or imported), I see the text
just like dots. The font is so small that there are no letters visible.
Just dots.
  I can select an area of the text using mouse and then change the font.
  Changing the size doesn't help.
  What helps, is changing the font itself. The text becomes immediately
visible.
  What I have discovered, is the following:
  Almost all nont-ttf (bitmap) fonts render extremely small (as dots only).
  Some ttf fonts are rendered perfectly (Arial, Impact)
  Other ttf fonts are rendered with correct size, but the text is overtyped
(Comic Sans), but it appears only on some documents, imported from msword.
When the font is changed, overtyping disappears, but when it is returned,
it appears again. When this font is used for writing in kword, it gives
correct results.
  I'm using AA (xft) through all the KDE.
                                         With regards, Pavel Troller
