Bug ID: 95062
Summary: Add more options to embed fonts in documents
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.0.0.5 release
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: ux-advise
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Fedora 23 beta (64 bit)
LibreOffice version 5.0.0.5
This proposal comes from the strange current functioning of implementation.
Attached are two Writer files: In the first no fonts are embedded, (9.3 kB), in
the second fonts are embedded (36.3 MB): Only 3 sentences are included with
the Tinos regular fonts. (????)

Since version 4.1 you can embed fonts in the OpenDocument documents, thereby
conserving design in systems without the fonts used.
Apparently, the implementation is not quite finished and not allow settings to
determine which fonts or font families to be included, to allow viewing or
editing the document.
Microsoft Office provides settings that helps reduce the size of the final
documents, reducing the types of font included on the document. See:
https://blogs.office.com/2015/07/06/document-font-embedding-demystified/
I suggest the following (
All include direct formatting and styles):
-Only include fonts used in the document
(default): This lets you share the document with security to keep the design
for reading/viewing, keeping to a minimum the additional size added to the
document,.
Example: If the Tinos font italic version is used, not including the rest of
the font family (Tinos regular, Tinos bold, etc). Impress use?
-Include family fonts used in the document: Similar to the above, but also the
families of fonts used are included. This also enables you to view the document
correctly, edit it without problems using the same styles.
-Exclude LibreOffice fonts: LibreOffice has a set of fonts that are distributed
with the application. If a user has the security to share your document with
LibreOffice user, enabling this option you can further reduce file size.
Cheers
