Broken looking diagram image exports on Linux [message #1844849]

Hi! Newcomer to Sirius here.
I am having an issue where some diagrams have broken texts when exporting as PDF/PNG/SVG. It only seems to occur on Linux, and the JPG/BMP both look good.

Is there a way to fix this, or is it perhaps a known bug? Worst case: would it be possible to disable these image formats on Linux perhaps?

Thanks in advance!

*The text in these diagrams look normal in the actual diagram

Hi.

I know there can be some diffrences in the font metrics computation depending on the format used (for historical reasons even the various bitmaps formats use different rendering pipelines), but usually it's just a few pixels of difference. I've never seen such a large miscomputation.

* Which versions of Sirius and GMF Runtime are you using?
* Are you on a HiDPI screen?
* Is the font configured for your labels actually present on your system (if it is not, maybe the fallback font chosen is different between the rendering and the export)?

Regards,
Pierre-Charles

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I'm using sirius 6.3, and I think the runtime is 1.12 or 1.13.
My screen is pretty high dpi, around 210 PPI
Yes, I should have the font downloaded on my system.

Thanks for your help!
