Description kingready 2016-07-10 11:41:19 UTC
Created attachment 126149 [details]
"17 Regular" cannot be chosen at the typefaces section

Steps to reproduce:

1. Download and install the complete Latin Modern font package: http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/latin-modern/download (second link)

2. Open LibreOffice Writer, write some text and try to apply the font "Latin Modern Roman 17 Regular"

Expected Result: The "Character Style" window should offer all subfonts provided by the font package (e. g. when choosing "Latin Modern Roman" as font family, you should be able to choose between "17 Regular", "10 Regular", "12 Regular", ... at the typefaces section)

Actual Result: The "Character Style" window looks like the attached screenshot. It offers only some of the installed fonts and there is no way to choose any other of the installed ones (e. g. "17 Regular").

The issue here is that the presence of optical sizes, so there is 8 regular styles, 8 bold styles, etc. but we don’t internally distinguish styles by font name but by their properties and we don’t (and can’t easily) take the optical size into account, so for LibreOffice 10 Regular is the same as 8 Regular, 14 Regular and so on.

Dear kingready,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
