Bug ID: 173306
Summary: macOS: headless soffice no longer sees any system or
user fonts (fallback to bundled Linux Libertine G),
regression in 26.8, GUI not affected
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 26.8.0.3 release
Hardware: ARM
OS: macOS (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Printing and PDF export
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I generate branded PDF decks on macOS through headless conversions, and they
have been coming out fine for months. This morning I upgraded to LibreOffice
26.8.0.3 with Homebrew, and every title page started rendering in a serif face.
After a quick investigation, in headless mode, this build does not see a single
macOS font. Not my user fonts in ~/Library/Fonts, and not Helvetica Neue
either. Everything silently falls back to the bundled Linux Libertine G.
Steps to Reproduce:
$ printf '<p style="font-family:Helvetica Neue">test</p>' > t.html
$ soffice --headless --convert-to pdf t.html
$ pdffonts t.pdf
Actual Results:
BAAAAA+LinuxLibertineG
Expected Results:
Helvetica Neue (or at worst a sans-serif substitute), as in previous versions.
A PDF produced by the same pipeline on 2 July (26.2 line) correctly embeds the
requested user font, so this seems a regression introduced with 26.8.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
Fonts placed in LibreOffice.app/Contents/Resources/fonts/truetype/ are picked
up, which is my current workaround (and it points at font enumeration via
CoreText rather than at the fallback logic itself). I see that 26.8 reworked a
fair amount of font handling (variable font support, Paragraph Composer), which
may be related. The GUI is not affected. Happy to run debug builds or provide
more traces if useful.
