Created attachment 133722 [details] test document showing the bug It is advertised in the help that LibreOffice supports font substitution with a list of semicolon separated fonts: > https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Font_Name > You can enter several fonts, separated by semicolons. LibreOffice uses each named font in succession if the previous fonts are not available. However, this is not working. Steps to Reproduce: 1. In Writer, enter some text, and apply with semicolon separated fonts. (e.g., "abadfont;Times New Roman" where the font "abadfont" never exists and "Times New Roman" is available in my system.) 2. In a new paragraph, enter the same text and apply with the font which do exist in the system (e.g., "Times New Roman") --> The text shown in step 1 should use the "Times New Roman" font which should be the same as shown in step 2, but they are showing different. See also the test document to observe the bug.

Confirmed and this doenst occur on Windows. Would assume this has to do with Linux's underlying font substitution thingy. @Maxim, @Khaled: Any thoughts?
Do we know if this ever worked on Linux?
(In reply to Khaled Hosny from comment #2) Added keyword bibisectRequest.
Yes i tested 3.3 and it wasnt working there, which is why i set it to inherited from OOo. Tested 3.6, 4.2, 5.2 and AOO 4.1.2 just now and it didnt work in these versions as well.
Does it work in old releases if you disable fontconfig (by setting SAL_DISABLE_FC_SUBST env var to 1)?
(In reply to Khaled Hosny from comment #5) > Does it work in old releases if you disable fontconfig (by setting > SAL_DISABLE_FC_SUBST env var to 1)? Yes this solved it against 3.3.0 and 5.1.6.2.
OK, so it is a bug in our FontConfig integration code. If someone is interested in fixing this, grep for SAL_DISABLE_FC_SUBST in 5.3 branch (it was removed in 5.4) and follow the code from there and try to figure out what the non-FontConfig code is doing that is missing from FontConfig one.

Following the side-discussion in the now-duped bug 161373, linking to a bug regarding the ODF specification of which separator we should use.
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I reproduced this. After some gdb debug, I noticed that notosans was used after this block in PhysicalFontCollection::FindFontFamily: 1054 if (FindMetricCompatibleFont(rFSD) || 1055 (mpPreMatchHook && mpPreMatchHook->FindFontSubstitute(rFSD))) 1056 { 1057 aSearchName = GetEnglishSearchFontName(aSearchName); 1058 } See https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/vcl/source/font/PhysicalFontCollection.cxx?r=40dde438#1054 and FindFontSubstitute has a different behavior depending on the env, see: https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/search?project=core&full=&defs=FindFontSubstitute&refs=&path=&hist=&type=&xrd=&nn=1&si=full&si=full In Linux, the pb is in PrintFontManager::Substitute See https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/vcl/unx/generic/fontmanager/fontconfig.cxx?r=6dfac38b#973 Here's part of the calling bt: #0 psp::PrintFontManager::Substitute (this=0x5555577552a0, rPattern=..., rMissingCodes="") at vcl/unx/generic/fontmanager/fontconfig.cxx:1079 #1 0x00007fffeea817f3 in GetFcSubstitute (rFontSelData=..., rMissingCodes="") at vcl/unx/generic/fontmanager/fontsubst.cxx:67 #2 0x00007fffeea81370 in (anonymous namespace)::FcPreMatchSubstitution::FindFontSubstitute (this=0x7fffef0de6b0 <SalGenericInstance::RegisterFontSubstitutors(vcl::font::PhysicalFontCollection*)::aSubstPreMatch>, rFontSelData=...) at vcl/unx/generic/fontmanager/fontsubst.cxx:129 #3 0x00007fffee81196a in vcl::font::PhysicalFontCollection::FindFontFamily (this=0x55555c008190, rFSD=...) at vcl/source/font/PhysicalFontCollection.cxx:1065
