Description: Documents using the Roboto Slab font by Google cannot be printed. They are sent to printer queue but eventually vanish without error message or actual print. I've verified it in Writer and Calc, on versions 6.1.0 and 6.1.1 (Win_x64) running on a fully updated Windows 10 Home (Spanish edition). Printer is an HP Envy 5640 with latest firmware. I've tried it with two users within my PC. I even wiped out my LibreOffice profile and reinstalled the program. Documents print just fine from other programs (e.g. saving as PDF and printing from Adobe Reader). Unfortunately I only have one physical printer to test (virtual printers are not affected). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get "Roboto Slab" at https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto+Slab 2. Create a document in Writer or Calc with some text. Set font to "Roboto Slab". 3. Print the document. Actual Results: Dialogue titled "Printing - Page 1 of 1" shows up for a second. Document shows up in printer queue. After a few seconds, printer queue gets cleared but document has not been printed. Expected Results: Document gets printed.

Created attachment 145196 [details] Roboto Slab fonts v1.100263 from Google Fonts The Roboto Slab fonts from Google Fonts have an Apache license. No problem with attaching them here or anywhere else. I tested your doc with Writer and printed to multiple printers without issues. LibreOffice v6.1.2.1 x64 on Windows 7 x64. Previously while testing this font family on LO v6.1.1.2 ... There are some problems with these fonts on Windows due to how they are named. I doubt they will work properly on Windows without being fixed. From my testing notes: Windows: Font Family is Roboto Slab for all fonts. Weights are all in Font Subfamily, not separate families. Thin font is not available anywhere. Light font only appears in the Character Style list. Typographic Family and Subfamily are filled-in. Export to PDF - fonts are correct (but obviously missing Thin). I doubt these fonts will work properly on Windows without modification. I will make a new font family package for you to test which should work properly on Windows. .
Created attachment 145197 [details] Roboto Slab fonts fixed to work in LO on Windows Attached are the Roboto Slab fonts fixed to work in LO on Windows. Please test these to see if they work properly for you. You can install these along with the other version at the same time because the name has been changed. All appears to be working properly for me on Windows 7. See PDF attachment in next post. .

As LibreTraining has uncovered above, this is an issue with the fonts. See https://github.com/google/fonts/issues/1618 The bug is not present in pre-release Roboto Slab, downloadable from https://github.com/googlefonts/robotoslab/tree/master/fonts/static
Thank you very much for the detectivesque work and sorry for not reporting earlier (I had serious problems just trying to fully uninstall the Roboto-ish fonts for proper testing). The font is clearly broken. My findings: 1. The problem gets totally fixed when I use the alpha release linked by Adolfo Jayme. (However, once I install "RobotoSlabAlpha-Regular.ttf" I always the same prompt when I install all other files: "The 'Roboto Slab Regular' font is already installed. Do you want to replace it?". I'll report that to Google ticket.) 2. The "Roboto Slab LO" font by LibreTraining still exhibits the issue. This time the printer finally receives the document (LCD display shows "Printing...", which didn't before) but actual printing never starts. Printer remains in that status until I get tired and cancel it. Is there an option, command-line switch, log file or something... to get notified about LibreOffice stuff failing because of broken fonts? From the end-user perspective all you see is that LibreOffice doesn't work where other programs do, which is nether fair nor useful.

That totally fixes my issue, thank you very much. I wonder if there's a way to incorporate your work into the original repository [1] so it doesn't get lost. I have no idea if Google accepts pull requests or what its policies are. There also seem to be some ongoing discussions [2] I don't really understand (fonts are way beyond my area of expertise).
