Re: [libreoffice-users] trouble installing fonts to use with Libre Office
Hi Niklas, all, sorry for the late reply, I was busy and had only very little time available. I've made a screenshot, that shows more exact what I see: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4yUNaph-X3ZdlFnTFllUUFhQU5MMVRRcWRNNTlQeG9EMnZB The really weird thing is, this problem occurs on my private laptop at home. On my workstation at the office with an older version of Ubuntu 2014.04 (LTS) and the corresponding (older) LibreOffice version, I see everything correct. Fonts are installed on both computers in the very same way... I hope it is more clear now. :) Thanks for any ideas.

Re: [libreoffice-users] trouble installing fonts to use with Libre Office
Hi Sigrid Which weights are missing. If it is the bold and italic versions of the fonts then there is really nothing to fix because the get mapped to the bold/italic buttons of their respective "regular" font. For example if you install Work Sans https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Work+Sans You will se a lot of weights of the font like Work Sans Black, Work Sans Thin etc. However you will not see any Work Sans Bold in the list of fonts but if you use the font called Work Sans and press the bold button LibreOffice will automatically use the Work Sans Bold font. One way to check this out is to export to pdf and then inspect the fonts that is in use. If other weights than bold and italic are missing then it would be interesting to dig deeper into why they are not available. /Niklas 2016-09-18 0:23 GMT+02:00 Sigrid Carrera : > Hi, > > I have some trouble with LibreOffice recognizing the different weights for > some fonts I have installed. > > Some basic info first: > LibreOffice 5.2.1.2 > Ubuntu 2016.04 > > I installed several fonts (otf / ttf files).

You might install new fonts from the Software Centre or you might place them manually into the personal .fonts/ subdirectory. Now, if a style of a font is not visible in LibreOffice it could be due to several issues. Can you give a specific example of a font (preferably, one with a liberal licence) so we can check? There is a good list of such fonts at https://fonts.google.com/, therefore check whether any of your new fonts in that list and prefer one of those.

Re: [libreoffice-users] trouble installing fonts to use with Libre Office
You may be able to find (and install) desired fonts from the Synaptic Package Manager. After opening the Synaptic Package Manager, on the left panel there are entries for Fonts, Fonts (multi-verse) and Fonts (universe). Or enter "font" in the Quick Filter search box.
