Description MM 2021-06-30 12:44:37 UTC

Description:
I have two documents, one with an embedded font and one with non-embedded font (e.g. Calibri). 
I do not have the font-family Calibri installed on my computer.



Steps to Reproduce:
1. open the document with embedded font (Calibri) and then export as PDF - new PDF document has Calibri als embedded font. - It is OK.
2. Do not close LibreOffice after step 1. Then I open the document with non-embedded fonts (Calibri) and then export as PDF. The new PDF has Calibri as embedded font - It is not OK as Calibri is neither embedded within the document or installed on the machine.

If I close LibreOffice after step 1, it works as expected and the PDF contains Carlito as a fallback font for Calibri.

Actual Results:
See Steps to Reproduce above.

Expected Results:
convert(export as PDF) correct font for embedded and non-embedded fonts file


Reproducible: Always

I reproduce. You don't have to export as PDF. It is enough to first open the one with embedded and then the one without. You can immediately see from the non-embedded file that the font is not substituted, the font name is not shown in italics in the font toolbar.

I tested with old bibisect repos and noticed that it has been like this since the feature of embedding fonts was introduced in 4.1: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.1#Writer

We register embedded fonts the same way we register bundled fonts. I don’t think we have a way to limit fonts to a single document (I think our font list is global, but don’t quote me on it).

With the previous comment, this is close to WontFix. Xisco, please see.

Why close it as WontFix if the registered embedded fonts could be unregistered?  When registering embedded fonts, save this info in a list to deregister them after the document with the embedded font is closed.
