Public bug reported: When using OpenType features (Format - Character - Feature) from a capable font like EB Garamond 12, LibreOffice automatically enables a fractional style, which essentially makes all numerics unusable, and there's no obvious way to disable this in the GUI once you've opened the Features dialog.
There are two workaround, as all OpenType features get disabled when selecting another font, and back again. And, of course, one can remove :frac=1 manually from the font name field. This has however been fixed in LibreOffice 7.0 onward, but somehow wasn't cherrypicked into 6.4.x, even though the change seems trivial: https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/commit/d28c9d56df8a2629321bda116a6d2dcfa587d160 Please consider including this cherrypick in a future package for Ubuntu Focal. The patch won't apply directly due to a filename typo getting corrected, which needs to be uncorrected in the patch: vcl/source/font/OpenTypeFeatureDefinitionList.cxx vcl/source/font/OpenTypeFeatureDefinitonList.cxx ** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1923305 Title: LibreOffice 6.4 OpenType Features unusable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1923305/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
