Sorry, I have no answers. But I do recommend posting your question to
the LO Users listserv. If you're not already subscribed:

[PLUG] LO5 Writer and fonts

2017-09-25 Thread Rich Shepard 
   I used font forge to convert baker-signet.ttf to baker-signet.otf. These
are the names in /usr/share/fonts/TTF and /usr/share/fonts/OTF,
respectively. Then I ran 'fc-cache -fv' with these results:

/usr/share/fonts/OTF: caching, new cache contents: 127 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/TTF: caching, new cache contents: 184 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/Type1: caching, new cache contents: 64 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/misc: caching, new cache contents: 95 fonts, 0 dirs

   However, when I open the letterhead template in LO5 Writer, the only font
name displayed is Baker (upper case 'B' and no signet). Highlighting the
company name and contact information in the header and selecting Baker as
the font changes the text. Until I quit the application and open it again.
Then the header is gone.

   For a test I opened a new document, typed some text, highlighted it and
selected the Baker font. The text disappeared. WTF??

   If you have any ideas why 1) LO Writer does not display the font name as
it appears in /usr/share/fonts/OTF/, 2) why the text in that typeface
disappears instantly, and 3) how I can fix this, please share your knowledge
with me.
