It seems the PT Serif font has been removed following fix for tdf#103080 at
least from 6.0 branch so it should be ok with last LO version 6.4.5

tdf#103080 Dont package Open Sans and PT_Serif fonts

Let's put this one to WFM then.

dlasher: don't hesitate to reopen this tracker if you still reproduce this with
LO 6.4.5

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today,
LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed
bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this
bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the
details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in
getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information
from Help - About LibreOffice.

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to
RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help
- About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular
meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a
REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your
bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from
http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat:

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team

Still present in 5.2.2.2 (Windows)

As of Unicode 9.0, there are now *eight* other currency symbols that the
bundled PT Serif font shows as ₽ (Ruble Sign):
U+20B6, Livre Tournois Sign
U+20B7, Spesmilo Sign
U+20B8, Tenge Sign
U+20B9, Indian Rupee Sign
U+20BA, Turkish Lira Sign
U+20BB, Nordic Mark Sign
U+20BC, Manat Sign
U+20BE, Lari Sign

The Bitcoin symbol is in the pipeline for Unicode 10.0, so it will be affected
too.

I see that this PT Serif font is no longer available from Paratype. It seems to
have a replacement called PT Serif Expert (http://www.paratype.com/expert/),
which does not have this bug. It only comes in a single regular style and may
not be available for redistribution.

Could LibreOffice *please* get rid of the fatally flawed and obsolete PT Serif
font?

Still present in 4.4.4 (Windows)

As of Unicode 8.0, there are now *eight* other currency symbols that PT Serif
shows as ₽ (Ruble Sign):
U+20B6, Livre Tournois Sign
U+20B7, Spesmilo Sign
U+20B8, Tenge Sign

U+20BA, Turkish Lira Sign
U+20BB, Nordic Mark Sign
U+20BC, Manat Sign
U+20BE, Lari Sign

Frankly, I don't see why PT Serif is worth keeping. It seems to have only a
couple of characters that Gentium Basic doesn't have, and many OS and some free
fonts have better coverage, even of Cyrillic.

Afaik, Google Fonts autogenerates smaller versions of OFL fonts, removing
various characters etc. as you wish.
PT Serif is one of them: http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/PT+Serif

So, being pragmatic, it should be possible to fix this bug without running into
Paratype lawyers, right? (I would not expect them to fix it for us.)

This font bug shouldn’t mean stopping bundling the font IMHO, one can always
switch to a different font to display a missing character.

  1) I took a look to the Paratype's website in Free stuff section
 It's not about the fonts we ship. You should look at
 http://www.paratype.com/public/ instead.
Thank you for the link, I had missed it.

so, these were added originally under...

Date:   Fri Nov 2 14:58:41 2012 +0100

Add more fonts

(PT Serif, Source Code Pro and Souce Sans Pro under OFL; Open Sans
under ALv2)

Its the OFL so we can't really delete the symbols locally and keep the name
IIUC. So its either drop the font and anyone that has used it already looses
out, or keep the font and suffer the problem that there are now incorrect
symbols used for the newly assigned currency unicode positions. Both options
suck.

1) I took a look to the Paratype's website in Free stuff section and I read
this:
You may not place them on Web and FTP sites for free download, post them in
newsgroups or distribute them by other means!
Is it really ok to include fonts from them in LO package or ?

2) is there any chance Paratype releases a new version quickly which include
the new symbols?

Caolán: I agree both solutions are quite bad but IMHO I think the dlasher's one
(to remove the font until it's ok) is less bad.
Of course, this should be indicated in release notes with the detailed reason
of this.
