Summary0009902: Font letters spoiled when using text flow around frame
DescriptionSome fonts letters are spoiled (not OK) when using text flow around clipping path or frame shape obtained from clipping path.

It is visible that little part of font letters are "inside" "border" of text flow.

See example scribus document and pdf.

1. first image is a tiff using clipping path
- (upper right part of the cross) m v p q are spoiled, compare with same letters in different position inside text

2. second image is a tiff with frame shape obtains from clipping path
- (upper right part of the cross) last f e m are very visible spoiled

The tiff image is prepared in Gimp.
* selection, grow selection -> path

Using text flow with clipping path or frame shape from clipping path impact quality of text, then it is unusable, low-quality. This is annoying because text flow is very needed around complicated shapes and doing this manually in Scribus is very slow :(

Well, this is even more serious, letters are ALWAYS spoiled, you can use modified frame space, conture line, clipping path -- always spoiled. Hmmm, looks like it is imposible to make high-quality text flowing in scribus around shapes :/

My patch from 0009436 should solve partially this issue.
Only partially.
In ma patch I provide checking if any part of glyph bounding box is in overflow area.
But because region computation is in 1 pt precision there still can be similar issues. To completely resolving that we need to increase precision.

I noticed a similar thing when using dropcaps on a line which is stopped not by the natural frame limit but by an image frame or shape.
The first letter of the second line (on the left - whereas the shape is on the right) is placed where the dropcap is.

I noticed the problem disappears depending on the order in which the text frame / shape / styles are created or applied
