            Bug ID: 317958
           Summary: fonts are broken at some sizes
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.9
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
               URL: http://miles-beyond.net/images/ugly-fonts.png
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: mlzkdebug at comcast.net

I get gaps in font rendering at some sizes.  The letters in which the gaps
occur vary depending on the sizes.  Some sizes are OK. 

E.g. times new roman 12 point at 95%, which is shown in the accompanying link.

The image in the http link included is from Libre Office but I see the same
thing in other apps.  I did not have this problem on the same machine with open
office when I was running Ubuntu netbook remix, which I believe is based on
gnome.

FYI: I am running an EEE pc with Mint Linux 14.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
One example:
1.  Type some text containing the letter e in Libre Office (this will probably
happen in any app that can render fonts in different sizes and zooms, but I
don't have any others handy that I know of)
2. times new roman 12 point
3. zoom to 95%
Actual Results:  
e's have gaps in them

Expected Results:  
They should not have gaps
