Description Ofir 2017-05-03 23:21:40 UTC
Description:
PPTX has default font for Heading and Body for each language.
Impress correctly chose the default font for English but choose wrong default fonts for Hebrew.

The attached PPTX has 3 columns of text.
The left column has English text with the default heading font.
The center column has Hebrew text with the default heading font.
The right column has Hebrew text with the same font as the default heading font but this time the font is specified manually instead of using the default.

The blue rectangles show that the text has the expected position and size.
The orange rectangle show that the chosen font is wrong and the text exceeds the rectangle.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the attached PPTX. Times New Roman and Calibri fonts are required.
2. See that the orange rectangle doesn't fit the text in the middle column.
3. Check the font in the middle column and see that it is not the default font for heading in Hebrew. It should be "Times New Roman".

Actual Results:  
Impress use the wrong default font for Heading and Body Hebrew text.
It probably use the default English font.

Expected Results:
The default Hebrew font should be Times New Roman.


Reproducible: Always

Dear Ofir,

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

Warm Regards,
QA Team
