Description Matteo 2017-04-20 18:48:03 UTC
Dear all,

In order to satisfy my different aims, I need for Calculator, Writer and Impress many Italic Characters to be availables. I remember that once, 2-3 years ago, they were available, I don't know why you, as LibreOffice community, decided to delete it, I need it.
Please could you make it available again for LibreOffice, you know, I mean those characters like: Monotype Corsiva... and other that I even don't remember.

Cheers

Matteo

Any modern OTF/TTF font installed to system will be available. Bitmap and Type1 postscript are no longer supported, but I don't believe that is what you seek.

You can use any OpenSource or commercial font foundry you would like--just be sure to select and install TTF, OTF, or Graphite flavors.

What do you mean? I'm not so much use at it, can you explain it simpler? Do you mean I need to install certain Libreoffice extensions?

No, just install the fonts to your system. Just be sure they are OpenType(.otf), TrueType(.ttf) or Graphite fonts. Older PostScript Type1 and bitmap fonts are no longer supported.

Ok
So, how can I install that? Could you explain me it and (if required) give me the links of these types of software?
Thanks

Plenty of options, although the Caldea, Carlito, DejaVu, Gentium, Liberation Sans, Linux Libertine (Graphite), OpenSans, PT Serif, Source Code Pro, and Source Sans fonts bundled and installed with LibreOffice each provides an Italic style font for use.

Check that they are installed to your system with a LibreOffice install, then just select the font for direct formatting or in modifying a style.
