[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 128226] Warn when there's no OpenSymbol font installed

Since that would simply make the font unconditionally available, possibly no need for a warning (but a review needed first). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Since the OpenSymbol font is crucial for Math we should indeed warn when it's not available. But such a warning needs to be actionable and the (red) infobar needs a button "Install". I'm afraid it's not possible to install fonts at the user directory (would make it much easier to handle fonts in an extension way), the proposal to install it with the application is okay. Mike, do you want to implement it? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

If that is possible, that would be a solution for the case, the font is not available on the system. In general I prefer an installation, so that always the most current version is available. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128226 --- Comment #9 from Regina Henschel --- The font file is included in the installation set and in case you make an administrative installation, you will get a folder Fonts. But with an ordinary installation the font file is not available. So if the user lost the file (intended or by accident) and wants to reinstall the font, he does not know, where to get it. The fact, that a missing font is the reason for wrong rendered formulas, can be easily found in forums, but not where to get the font. My proposal is: Do not warn the user, but make the file available in an ordinary installation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

When and how often > do you want to warn about missing OpenSymbol? Proprietary alternative of what? OpenSymbol? Or Math? If the former, then it doesn't matter, because for Math, no proprietary alternative is usable (see tdf#101174). If the latter, then that doesn't matter, since the proposal (as further clarified in comment 4) is "When we open Math, we must check if a component required for its correct work is present, and warn if not" - so opening Math shows user's intention, and that's when the check and warning should appear (every time, since the component is broken at that point, and no need to disable "broken component" warning). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

A > user then removing is causing their own grief. Is there any hint that a font suddenly appeared among tens other fonts on the system was installed by LibreOffice? Is there any warning when a user decided to cleanup installed fonts that one of them is required for LibreOffice? Is there a guarantee that the problem (visible only when working with formulas) would be spotted shortly, so that user could possibly associate the removal of (s0me) fonts with broken behavior of Math? > Simply warning them they've broken LibreOffice just papers over a pretty > significant shortcoming. > > What is really needed would be to implement bug 101174 to allow effective > use of fonts other than OpenSymbol, and then provide a fallback mechanism > (with a warning if no suitable font is available). I don't argue that this is *possibly* a good-to-have thing, but they are independent, and this one is rather low-hanging fruit that doesn't prevent that one from happening once. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

A user then removing is causing their own grief. Simply warning them they've broken LibreOffice just papers over a pretty significant shortcoming. What is really needed would be to implement bug 101174 to allow effective use of fonts other than OpenSymbol, and then provide a fallback mechanism (with a warning if no suitable font is available). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128226 --- Comment #4 from Mike Kaganski --- To further clarify the difference with tdf#78186: that bug is to show warning *if a document uses some font absent on system*; this bug is about "When we open Math, we must check if a component required for its correct work is present, and warn if not". So this one is orthogonal to fonts *used in documents*. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

In case of Math, the OpenSymbol font isn't *used in the document* - it's Math itself that *internally* uses this font to draw math symbols, like integrals and square roots. OpenSymbol font is a component of Math in that regard, not a used resource, which is very different. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
