In https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Fontwork_1 is the text <quote> This Fontwork dialog is only available for Fontwork in old Writer text documents that were created prior to OpenOffice.org 2.0. </quote> That is wrong. The Fontwork was always available and is still available. It is the tool, which you need to get text along a path. It is mainly used to label connectors. <quote> You must first call Tools - Customize to add a menu command or an icon to open this dialog. </quote> That is right, but not helpful because a search for `Fontwork` has three results. You need to mention, that the command is in the category "Format". <quote> The top row contains the following baseline shapes: Upper Semicircle, Lower Semicircle, Left Semicircle and Right Semicircle. The middle row contains the following baseline shapes: Upper Arc, Lower Arc, Left Arc and Right Arc. The bottom row contains the following baseline shapes: Open Circle, Closed Circle, Closed Circle II, and Open Circle Vertical. For the best results, the drawing object must contain more than two lines of text. </quote> That part of the dialog has long time been removed. The corresponding attributes which are used before ODF, are no longer written.
Created attachment 143060 [details] Dialog for old fontwork
(In reply to Regina Henschel from comment #0) > a search for `Fontwork` has three results. Commit 87a8b2c0d1002bff4f6268ac8673dd32fc7762b9 might help a bit with this. It fixes the tooltips, and thus consistently treats "Fontwork" (which we want in this context) as just Fontwork.
Created attachment 175722 [details] Dialog for legacy "Fontwork" (In reply to Olivier Hallot from comment #1) > Created attachment 143060 [details] > Dialog for old fontwork Your screenshot shows the wrong object. The legacy Fontwork, which this issue is about, is applicable to Polygons and BezierCurves.
