Description `{third: "Beedell", first: "Roke"}`{.JSON5} 2022-06-18 22:54:50 UTC
Description:
One of the problems that prevents migration of my .txt-files to the more versatile formats that LibreOffice supports is that they are unable to adhere to the typography that the host operating-systems has chosen.

This is important because not solely is it obvious regression of functionality, it provides consistency to the user, which is important if they are dyslexic or unable to easily see, because it necessitates unnecessary additional configuration, especially if they frequently replace their font(s).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Invoke “kcmshell5 kcm_fonts”.
2. Configure the fonts to not be Liberation Serif, as "http://i.imgur.com/XcEQ1IC.png" depicts.

3. Unnecessarily, but to demonstrate well what I have stated, remove the entries from what "http://i.imgur.com/6TJ3l4p.png" depicts when the styles of the document are empty too (which they are by default, and which "http://i.imgur.com/nNswItI.png" depicts).

Actual Results:
LibreOffice merely defaults to Liberation (Serif?), which appears to be its default.

Expected Results:
LibreOffice should utilize the default theme that the user has configured for their operating-system.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
During implementation of this, know that Windows's font is not actually hard-coded, and that no software expects that. It is provided by registry-keys. Windows' typographical customisability and aliasage is actually approximately as advanced as most derivatives of UNIX's.
