Bug ID: 158589
Summary: Add option to save Font Replacement Table
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.4.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: j22...@gmail.com
Description:
Some users spend quite some time creating a Font Replacement Table to avoid
proprietary fonts. It would be nice to offer them the option to save the table
so they can retrieve it eg. in case of a fresh install.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Options -> LibreOffice -> Fonts
2. Populate the Replacement Table
3. Install a fresh copy of LO
Actual Results:
You have to re-populate the Replacement Table
Expected Results:
There is a button 'Load replacement table' that populates the table.
Note I am not suggesting that the fonts have to be saved (this is obviously out
of the scope of LO), but only the replacement table.
If you load the table and there is a font that is not installed (either in the
'Font' or 'Replace with' columns) then it could be shown in italics following
the current behavior of LO when you open a document that is supposed to be in a
font that you have not installed. Then the user can know that entry in the
Replacement Table is not going to make any difference because one or both of
those fonts need to be installed first.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
This is an example of a very useful and rather long replacement table:

It must be quite tedious to populate it one by one.
