The protection is wrong already in the tarball on
https://dev-www.libreoffice.org/src/noto-fonts-20170306.tar.gz

-rw-r-  0 jay18  jay18  379600 Mar 15  2016
noto-fonts-20170306/NotoSerif-Regular.ttf

etc. Somebody should fix that, instead of having us come up with various fixes
for fallout here and there. (There already was at least one, for the sandboxed
macOS build, 155086493c9e035c0568868f5ae3b3dcf3299e6f )

Created attachment 141196

Fonts directory long listing

I think I have found the root cause for the fonts problems reported earlier. I
just installed LO 6.0.3.2 per DEB package as I usually do. After the
installation, I typically run libreoffice as root in order to install
extensions for all users. As root I also checked for the existence of the fonts
issue and was surprised not to find any fonts problems. So, I checked as a
normal user afterwards and was disappointed to find the fonts problem still
exists.

However, the different behavior of LO6 run as root and as normal user caused me
to check the permissions in the directory
/opt/libreoffice6.0/share/fonts/truetype. The results are listed in the new
attachment.

Long story short, unfortunately many permissions are incorrectly set. E.g.

-rw-r- 1 root root  455164 Mar 29 23:16 NotoSans-Bold.ttf

It is no surprise that an ordinary user encounters problems with the new Noto
fonts, when an ordinary user does not have read access for these fonts.

After I had corrected all fonts permissions manually to become 644, the font in
the file open dialog is now correctly displayed.

Please have the permissions of all fonts files (and the entire DEB packages)
checked and corrected for future releases.

Thanks
Tom

I think it would be worth it to try the PPA from Ubuntu's LibreOffice team:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install libreoffice

This is the PPA: https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

1) I do not install LO from the Linux Mint repository. Instead, I download the
corresponding debian package and the corresponding off-line help package per:

https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/?type=deb-x86=6.0.2=en-US

2) I unpack these packages as root,
3) I install them as written in the attached readme files,
4) I add/enable a few extensions as root for all user accounts on the system
(alternative searching and German spell correction).

As a result, I have the local fonts folder of LO installed in parallel to the
different fonts folders of my system. I don't know, if the installation from a
repository also comes with a local LO fonts folder. Maybe you can tell me, if
it does?

I never had problems with this procedure, until I installed LO 6. BTW: I have
linked /opt to /usr/local/opt in order to have LO stored on the "local"
partition.

Regards
Tom

How have you installed version 6? From the Linux Mint package repository?
I am not seeing the problem described (in Arch Linux), so it must be something
special in the packaging or how you have installed it.

Hey Buovjaga,

it may have been too early, to close this issue. My previous statement "It
would be tempting to assume that my fonts installation is corrupt" does not
mean, that my fonts installation is indeed corrupt.

In fact, on my system "Noto Sans Bold" is already installed independent of LO
6.1.2.1 and this installation is working smoothly (see 1st new screenshot of LO
5.4.5.1 Writer).

And, if I rename the "fonts" folder of LO 6.0.2.1 into "fonts.old", so that
this folder is no longer found by LO 6.0.2.1, the problem of the illegible text
is gone (see 2nd new screenshot of LO 6.0.2.1).

So I think, there may be an incompatibility between the local fonts
installation of LO 6.0.2.1 and already existing fonts on given Linux systems.

I think it would be good, if this incompatibility would be addressed in LO.
E.g. LO could first search for necessary fonts on the Linux system and only, if
a font is not found, use the corresponding font from its local installation.

Regards
Tom

Because Noto Sans was only added in 6.0 :)

Created attachment 140720

appimage: Header of File->Open dialog

OK, downloaded Fresh & Basic and ran it in a test account as well as my regular
LO 6.0.2.1 installation. Here are the results:

1) LibreOffice-fresh.basic-x86_64.AppImage
--
% ./LibreOffice-fresh.basic-x86_64.AppImage 

Version: 6.0.2.1
Build ID: f7f06a8f319e4b62f9bc5095aa112a65d2f3ac89
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.13; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; 
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group

The subfolder labels were all correctly displayed (see new screenshot).

2) Regular libreoffice 6.0.2.1
--
% libreoffice6.0
(soffice:4772): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font, expect
ugly output. the offending font is 'Noto Sans Bold 9'
(soffice:4772): Pango-WARNING **: font_face status is: file not found
(soffice:4772): Pango-WARNING **: scaled_font status is: file not found
(soffice:4772): Pango-WARNING **: shaping failure, expect ugly output.
shape-engine='PangoFcShapeEngine', font='Noto Sans Bold 9', text='Documents'

The error messages of the regular version seem to indicate a font issue, which
would perfectly explain the empty rectangles. It would be tempting to assume
that my fonts installation is corrupt. However, why does LO 5.4.5.1 not issue
similar error messages?

Tom

ad 1) Yes, it is always the selected subfolder in the header of the dialog. So,
in my screenshot example, if I click on "libreoffice6.0" that string gets
replaced by 14 empty rectangles, while all the other elements of the path are
correctly displayed ("opt" and "readmes"). If I click on "opt", that string
gets replaced by 3 empty rectangles, while all other elements are correctly
displayed (libreoffice6.0" and "readmes").

ad 2) I am running
- Linux Mint 18.3 Mate
- gtk+3 3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3
- gtk+2 2.24.30-1ubuntu1.16.04.2

>From the lsof output while running LO 6.0.2.1, I conclude that gtk2 is used by
LO 6.0.2.1. However, at the same time gtk3 is used by other software.

ad 3) What appimage do you suggest to use?
- Fresh, Still
- Basic, Standard, Full

Tom

So this is always the case for the current subfolder?
Tried with gtk2, but not seeing it.

What Linux distro are you using? What desktop environment is that?
Can you reproduce with an appimage?
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/appimage

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.
