Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2017-10-12 23:37:52 UTC
steps
1. open attachment 83389 [details]
2. notice the font is set to the default CTL font (for me it was Lucida Sans) instead of Orkun
3. move cursor to the beginning of the '(1)' line and notice the font hasnt changed instead of being Helvetica
4. move cursor next to any colon and font hasnt changed instead of being Helvetica

Regression as this was imported correctly with the old 3.3 rtf importer. LO 3.5 and 3.6 wouldnt import any of the RTL text, though it did correctly import the non-RTL text as Helvetica.

Font table rtf text
'{\fonttbl\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Orkun;\f1\fswiss\fcharset0 Helvetica;}'

Helvetica colon rtf text
'\f1  : '

I trust you ;-)

So the target of the bibisectRequest was apparently about the Helvetica change. In 43all repo with Ubuntu 14.04, the font just stays Helvetica everywhere.

What I see in 3.3.0 is that the font stays Helvetica.
In latest master, it changes to FreeSans.

I thought it was the main, RTL font name change.
The text disappeared in 3.5.0 (already incorrect in earliest of bibisect-43all, thus setting preBibisect), and came back in 4.1, with the following commit, found using bibisect-41max:

"fdo#62977 allow SAL_MAX_INT16..SAL_MAX_UINT16 when importing RTF_U"

The name of the Helvetica font for the LTR parts of the text (numbering, colons) changes to the default CTL font name with the following commit. An issue this commit corrected is that previously the numbering that should've been on the right was on the left (this had also been fine before 3.5.0, and regressed in that version).
