Roman Kuznetsov <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whiteboard| QA:needsComment | CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from Roman Kuznetsov <[email protected]> --- Kevin, LO has dropped Type1 font support in 2016 year https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2016-October/075652.html Below is some excerpt: * Bitmap fonts on Windows (Michael) + no good physical font API on Windows + DirectWrite provides one. + doesn't work with Bitmap Fonts. + Office 2013 dropped bitmap / Type1 fonts and more long ago. + Biting us with Harfbuzz in some cases. + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103514 + an issue for the WinXP support (Cloph) + Harfbuzz doesn't support that. (and will not support Type1 fonts) + 5.3 will be the last with current rendering + see no point in also support bitmap fonts in 5.4 + thought Khaled pushed a patch to make it work on WinXP (Caolan) + but happy to loose bitmap fonts. + we get a fallback font anyway (Michael) => abandoning bitmap / Type 1 fonts etc. if not DirectWrite supported in future. So I'm not sure about your suggestion... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
