Bug #: 42292
Summary: FORMATTING & saving fonts in text boxes
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.4.3 release
Platform: x86 (IA32)
OS/Version: Mac OS X (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: medium
Component: Drawing
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
I am using LibreOffice 3.4.3 on a MacBook Pro 2011 running OSX Lion version
10.7.2. My issue occurred in DRAW, after updating to Lion OS, not before.
I have roughly 310 fonts loaded, many of which are used to create artwork and
ads for customers on a private basis. When trying to use certain fonts loaded
by me (Barbedor, Goudy Oldstyle, PT Sans, Jensen Recut) the text I typed would
not appear - only when I typed the text using a system font (Arial as default)
would the text appear and remain. Further, when saving and entering another box
(image or text) in DRAW, the previously saved text box would simply disappear
on a haphazard basis. I could click in the space where the box was, and get the
box to appear, but the text was no longer there. Intermittent, but a
show-stopper.
I have read that Lion does indeed have an issue with font verification of
non-system installed fonts, whether they are registered or not. I have since
followed a routine that was suggested: 1) do regular system maintenance and
disk verification, 2) clean the font cache for the entire system, 3) validate
the fonts loaded, and remove any fonts showing an error in that process, 4)
reset the system fonts, which cleans out any non-standard typesets currently
not used by Lion (the odd ones are dumped into a "deleted fonts" folder for
later deletion or addition into the users font folder, which is separate from
the system's), 5) delete the trash if fonts deleted. This I did, and opened the
document in question.
According to a Microsoft Office user, this procedure was the answer. However, I
still had disappearing text in some text boxes when I reopened LibreOffice. I
would appreciate any lead as to how to proceed.
