Description bohdal 2006-11-03 18:03:40 UTC 
The PDF exported file contains ugly Table of Contents. The dots after heading
name (before the page number) are bad spaced. This problem is relevant only on
Linux OS and OOo versions after 2.0.3

bohdal,
I do not see any problem with your pdf - dots are spaced evenly. If you see 
something else please attach screenshot.
Comment 5 bohdal 2006-12-03 15:37:30 UTC 
Please, see the red marked areas in the attached UglyDotsInPDF.png file
(screenshot from a pdf file in the Adobe Reader). You have to look closer on the
lines with the dots. It is not obviously on first sight. Try print the pdf file.

bohdal,
I do see the problem in your .pdf now, but can't reproduce it on Windows. 
Let's see if somebody with Linux can.
Comment 8 h.ilter 2006-12-04 15:15:36 UTC 
Looks also good for me on Linux fedora. Which distri you use?
Comment 9 h.ilter 2006-12-04 15:41:45 UTC 
HI->PL: I couldn't reproduce with linux but with unix.
Comment 10 bohdal 2006-12-04 21:13:02 UTC 
My distro is Mandriva 2007 FREE. I will install the newest OpenSUSE 10.2 next
week. Then I will write my experiences with it.
Comment 11 bohdal 2006-12-04 21:46:21 UTC 
Same problem on Mandriva 2006.

Comment 13 bohdal 2006-12-14 08:07:43 UTC 
Same problem on SUSE 10.2. But not all fonts makes bad spaced dots. For example
the Bitstream Charter, URW Bookman L create ugly dots lines but the Bitstream
Vera Serif create a pdf without problem. It is very interesting ...

Comment 15 pmjdebruijn 2007-01-20 15:31:19 UTC 
CASE2_NW7b_Bruijn_MedicaNV.pdf has the same issue but reversed.

The other example had places where the dots where compounded, in my case there a
weird space between the dots.

I'm using a commercial truetype font called Bitstream Classic Garamond, I got it
from my CorelDRAW 9 CDs.
Comment 16 shaunmcdonald131 2007-01-20 15:35:03 UTC 
The problem exist on Mac OS X too. Confirming here, though slighthly different
as the dots are close together.

Issue http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=32301 seems to be about 
the same problem.

Comment 20 philipp.lohmann 2007-02-27 09:37:35 UTC 
This is the same as in issue 74609; depending on the font some characters do not
have the right advance widths.
