Bug ID: 145563
Summary: LibreOffice and NeoOffice fail to respect each other's
selections of Pfeffer Mediaeval
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.1.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: macOS (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
(I don't know if any other fonts run into similar bugs.)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. I use both LibreOffice and NeoOffice because of different accessibility
constraints and color palettes. LibreOffice allows me to use spreadsheets
without getting migraines from marching ants, and allows me to use consistent
color palletes from other LibreOffice projects. NeoOffice allows me to increase
text sizes in the preferences, properties, etc. Both currently allow me to
disable blinking cursors and some other but not all flashing.
2. Have both LibreOffice and NeoOffice. I don't know if similar behavior occurs
with OpenOffice.
3. Install Pfeffer Mediaeval from here:
http://robert-pfeffer.net/schriftarten/englisch/nachgeladener_rahmen.html?got_tastaturbelegung.html
I installed it in my user Library, using Apple's Font Book application.
4. Create a Writer/.odt or Draw/.odg document in either LibreOffice or
NeoOffice, set some fonts to Pfeffer Mediaeval. Using either Characters, or
Styles, or both.
Actual Results:
5. Open the same document in either NeoOffice or LibreOffice, whichever you
didn't use in step 4, check the fonts. The text shows in Helvetica or Arial or
another bland and hard-to-read font. If I check the font info, it's italicized,
apparently because the current app can't detect Pfeffer Mediaeval. Go, set
fonts again, Pfeffer Mediaeval is in the list, use it.
6. Open the same document in either LibreOffice or NeoOffice, whichever you
didn't use in step 5, check the fonts. The text shows in Helvetica or Arial or
another bland and hard-to-read font. If I check the font info, it's italicized,
apparently because the current app can't detect Pfeffer Mediaeval. Go, set
fonts again, Pfeffer Mediaeval is in the list, use it.
7. Each time I fix it in one app, it breaks it in the other.
Expected Results:
8. Since both apps have access to Pfeffer Mediaeval, they should be able to
recognize the font when the other app sets it.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
tested in safe mode, too.
