help->about with squares
Hi,
In some cases LibO selects fonts to render the UI (regardless of the UI system
fonts) with a font that doesn't support the relevant language. For Hebrew this
is DejaVuSans-ExtraLight, which causes the UI to show squares instead of the
Hebrew translation.
Is there a way for LibO to avoid this font for the Hebrew UI? (although I'm
sure it affects more languages as this font is indeed "extra light" regarding
languages support).
In recent 3.5.0 beta2, this font is included (with many others) in the
lodevbasis3.5-ooofonts packages, which makes the above problem by "inherent" to
all LibO builds. Changed the severity of this issue accordingly.
Beta2 changed the previous behavior, as it uses the fonts from the internal
font package and seems to ignore the system font for the UI itself.
The only work around is to removed the DejaVuSans-ExtraLight font from the
system (3.4.4 and 3.5.0 beta1) or from the LibO installation dir (3.5.0 beta2).
