Description Jeehyun 2017-01-10 11:09:25 UTC
When I change user interface language from Enlgish to Korean, LO and OO fail to change Korean fonts' name.
For example, Batang font is also '바탕'. Font list should show '바탕' not 'Batang' in Korean mode.
While windows version can do that, mac version cannot.

Even if I changed operating system(sierra) language, still same issue.

Does it matter? Yes.
LO and OO cannot recognize Batang and 바탕 are actually same in both mac and windows while MS Office and Hancom Office can do that.
LO shows italic 'batang' font while '바탕' is already on the font list of formatting bar. I know italic font means it is not installed.
This is serious compatibility issue.
All other korean fonts have same problem.
I think japanese and chinese fonts have same problem since they also have two name.
(Actually this is second bug. But I don't report this now.)

I fix my report.
I found user interface language cannot change font name.

Windows system language can do. Windows Korean interface show korean font name(바탕) instead of english name(batang) in LO.  바탕 and batang are same font.

Mac cannot do that. I am not sure whether this is LO's bug.
Other software like iWork, textedit, and MS office show korean font name(바탕) in mac os korean interface.
LO and OO show only enlgish name(batang) in mac os korean interface.

Not sure how to reproduce this to attempt confirmation. If I change the system language to Korean on my Mac, I have to restart it for the changes to take effect. This will lead to the login screen asking for my password, which I will have no idea how to type in Korean.

Ideally, we'd need another Korean tester/user on QA with an OSX system to confirm this report.

I have successfully found Korean Mac testers on Reddit before, but it would be interesting to see Jeehyun first test with 5.3: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

Perhaps HarfBuzz affects this as well..
