Description bugzilla 2013-08-04 15:26:39 UTC
Problem description: Fonts which are provided together with the LibreOffice installation do not appear in the application on Mac OS X. This is affected to all fonts which are stored under /LibreOffice.app/Contents/share/fonts/truetype

Steps to reproduce:
1. Check if a font in /LibreOffice.app/Contents/share/fonts/truetype is not installed on the system (e.g. DejaVuSans.ttf)
2. Write a text with LibreOffice on Mac
3. Try to change the font face to a font from item 1 (try to select DejaVuSans in this example)

Current behavior: Fonts which are inside the application folder and not installed on the system cannot be used.

Expected behavior: As in LibreOffice 4.0

              
Operating System: Mac OS X
Version: 4.1.0.4 release
Last worked in: 4.0.4.2 release

Changing 'regression' -> 'PossibleRegression' until we have independent confirmation of a regression.

Joren -- Could you please test this one? Danke
Comment 2 Jorendc 2013-10-19 09:45:36 UTC
I fail to reproduce this one, tested using Mac OSX 10.8.5 with LibreOffice Versie: 4.1.2.3 Build ID: 40b2d7fde7e8d2d7bc5a449dc65df4d08a7dd38; Dutch UI.

All fonts in the truetype folder are listed in the font list...

Kind regards
Joren

Comment 4 Dennis Roczek 2013-10-19 12:32:27 UTC
I can confirm that bug with Mac OS X 10.7.5 and LibreOffice 4.1.2 (German UI).

The font OpenSans is stored at
/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/share/fonts/truetype

and not at
~/Library/Fonts/
/Network/Library/Fonts/

( https://support.apple.com/kb/HT2435 )

and not available in the font list within LibreOffice Writer.

See also attached screenshot.

This would appear to be a regression. There are good screenshots showing the difference in handling between LO v4.0.x and v4.1.x in this AskLO thread:

http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/27088/font-bug-on-lo-41-when-opening-documents-created-with-lo-40/

Because of the "weights" issue mentioned in this AskLO thread I am wondering if this is not also related to bug 67744 which seemed to appear around the same time? Does the problem occur for all LO-provided fonts (v4.0.x created documents that are opened in v4.1.x) or only those font families (e.g., DejaVu) that have larger numbers of weights?

Font as it appears in the Mac OSX Finder

Roboto is a set of free fonts from Google Android.
These are TTF files

Font as it appears in Mac OSX Fonts Book

This is how the Mac Fonts Book app translate the TTF files.
As you can see:
-- The Futura set are dispatched as one font for one file (subtype?)
-- The Roboto set is automaticaly grouped as one set of many files

Font as it appears in LO 4.2 Fonts list dropbox

As you can see, this is how the Roboto set appears in the Fonts list dropbox:
we can see only Roboto, not Roboto Bk or Roboto Lt, etc.

Please ignore that last comment, posted to wrong issue, sorry.
Comment 15 Alex Thurgood 2014-09-30 16:46:05 UTC
These issues are possibly linked to core text changes introduced during 4.1 development - the problem will be trying to find which one(s)

Can’t reproduced. Probably only affected old macOS versions we no longer support.
