Description V Stuart Foote 2018-10-19 15:05:01 UTC
While verifying bug 119897 (update on Windows 10 64-bit from 6.1.1.2 -> 6.1.3.1) noticed in verbose installation log that packaged fonts with versioning are not replacing our earlier font installations registered without versioning.

For example:

MSI (s) (9C:84) [09:31:48:582]: Executing op: RegisterSharedComponentProvider(,,File=LiberationMono_Bold.ttf,Component={636E130F-4EC1-9AF3-2BD7-2E324C4DC331},ComponentVersion=2.0.1.0,ProductCode={28CD926D-EB22-4B4B-9139-494A3C25C3E2},ProductVersion=6.1.3,PatchSize=0,PatchAttributes=0,PatchSequence=0,SharedComponent=0,IsFullFile=0)
MSI (s) (9C:84) [09:31:48:582]: Executing op: FileCopy(SourceName=LIBERA~1.TTF|LiberationMono-Bold.ttf,SourceCabKey=LiberationMono_Bold.ttf,DestName=LiberationMono-Bold.ttf,Attributes=16384,FileSize=301684,PerTick=65536,,VerifyMedia=1,,,,,CheckCRC=0,Version=2.0.1.0,,InstallMode=58982400,,,,,,,)
MSI (s) (9C:84) [09:31:48:582]: File: C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\LiberationMono-Bold.ttf;	Overwrite;	Won't patch;	New file versioned - existing file unversioned

Would think we'd want our versioned to replace any older unversioned instances to get each font to a known state.

I'm not sure we want to fix this.

It's unfortunate that we had bugs that resulted in "unversioned" fonts installed; but I cannot see how could we tell for sure if the unversioned version is resulting from our previous installation, and not from e.g. manual installation by user. (The other thing is that I don't know if we can enforce MSI behavior in this case - but this is secondary wrt the former question.)

Verified an uninstall does clear out the Reference counts, so all that is necessary is a LibreOffice uninstall and a fresh LibreOffice install to move to our versioned fonts...

This from a 6.1.3.1 install after first uninstalling...

So, I am OK with the WONTFIX here.

@Andras, * -- anyone with concerns of allowing the unversioned font instances to remain?

Hello V Stuart Foote,
Could you please try to reproduce it with a master build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ ?

Not really possible. Dev builds of master don't touch the registry unless forced, and fonts for an /a admin install are not pushed to the Windows/Fonts directory.

I'm OK with the WF, we're well past builds through 6.1 and now are correctly versioned. Mike's comment 3 is reasonable.
