Bug ID: 165410
Summary: Support Type 1 fonts
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.3.0.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
It would be nice if we could use more kinds of fonts in LibreOffice,
specifically Type 1 fonts.
About 9 years ago, we officially declared no support for Type 1 fonts:
https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/48304cb5b4d8df71463837e2e48aa7c4d9594df9^!
... because they weren't supported by CommonSalLayout. I'm not sure if that
means they we were handling them imperfectly or not really at all, but be that
as it may - Type 1 are useful and legitimate fonts, and we should support them.
That is to say, not undo that change, but rather make sure that our code, top
to bottom and through-and-through, supports them.
This would be particularly useful when opening PDF files for editing, because
those are more likely to contain Type-1 font glyphs.
