           Summary: okular does not render simple text tab alignment
                    correctly in .odt docs
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: ODT backend
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: drankinatty at suddenlinkmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

devs,

    okular has come a long way in the 4.3 release, but it has 2 very annoying
bugs in its odt backend.

(1) simple text indention or tab alignment is not rendered correctly. Instead
of showing the text properly aligned as it is in oo-writer, the indented text
is jumbled leftward as if it were just spaced over using a fixed-width font and
then viewed in a proportional font. The sample document I was viewing was:

http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/data/TRIAL-JuryCharge.odt

(it's public domain)

    Properly aligning text with the set tabs or indentions seems like something
very basic. Trying to use okular as a viewer without proper alignment really
defeats the whole purpose of okular as a quick-viewer for odt files. (I really
like the concept, if I just need to look at an odt file, I would much prefer
the speed of okular than waiting for OpenOffice to load).


(2) okular renders .odt documents in some whacky 'outline" font causing the
text to look like the font-color had been changed to 60% gray. This is
unexpected. Ocular should render .odt documents in the proper font (at the very
minimum until this is fixed, okular should render in a normal black system font
like serif, sans serif, courier or monospace [depending on what's being
rendered])

    Fixing these will go a long way to making okular a solid versital document
viewer.
