Bug ID: 162997
Summary: Support reloading of font list when new fonts added to
the system (e.g. with fc-cache)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Sometimes, you open a document, start working on it, and realize you want to
use a font that's not installed right now - or that the document uses such a
font, which you would like to install.
So, you go online, download that font somehow (or maybe use your package
manager), and install it. On Windows, that's right-clicking the font file and
choosing "Install"; on Linux, it's copying it somewhere fontconfig knows about,
and running fc-cache -fv (as root? probably) . So, you've done that. Now you
want to use that new font!
... sadly, your open LO session doesn't recognize it, since it loaded fonts at
startup. It would be nice if it could:
* Note, or register to be notified, of a change to the set of cached
fonts/typefaces.
* Reload its set of available fonts upon such notice
* Repaint/re-layout the document using the new set of available fonts
