Summary: Fonts with wrong metadata cause font replacements in
LibreOffice
Product: LibreOffice

OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED

--> https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=121695&action=edit
this zip file contains a screenshot and the two font files
OS version: ubuntu 14.04 LTS
LibreOffice version: 5.0.4.2 rc
Here's the situation:
(I'll explain it for LibreOffice writer, but it also affects impress, calc and
draw)
When I try to use arial font, a different font is displayed instead. This
happens only with "normal" arial, not arial italic, not arial bold, ...
The image in the zip attached shows this situation.
Here's what i did then:
I exported as pdf a file containing wrong arial; looking the embedded fonts in
the pdf I found out there was year2000 (y2k.ttf in the attached zip) instead of
arial;
So I removed y2k.ttf from /usr/share/fonts/truetype; this modified the problem:
arial was displayed as another font (alienleague, ALIEN5.TTF in the attached
zip).
I removed this font from /usr/share/fonts/truetype, too.
Now arial is displayed correctly.
I opened both fonts with FontForge and this program showed me some warnings:
"[...]

[...]"
Similar warnings appear when I open y2k.ttf.
So I think the problem is about how LibreOffice behaves when a font has
different metadata for mac and windows.
