Description hatschky 2018-11-02 02:21:29 UTC
Description:
MacOS supports the Composite Font Representation, a format for composing a single logical font from several font files to circumvent OpenType’s 65,535-glyph limit. When a CFR font is installed, LibreOffice fails to start.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download and install the CFR font Hanazono Mincho and its component fonts:
https://github.com/cjkvi/HanaMinAFDKO/releases/download/8.030/HanaMin.sfont
https://github.com/cjkvi/HanaMinAFDKO/releases/download/8.030/HanaMinA.otf
https://github.com/cjkvi/HanaMinAFDKO/releases/download/8.030/HanaMinB.otf
https://github.com/cjkvi/HanaMinAFDKO/releases/download/8.030/HanaMinC.otf
2. Try to open LibreOffice.

( The issue can also be reproduced with the sample font “Unicode CFR” found here: http://blogs.adobe.com/CCJKType/2012/07/cfr-support-in-mountain-lion.html )

Actual Results:
LibreOffice exits before the splash screen would appear. If run from the console, it prints “Application Error”. After deleting any CFR fonts, LibreOffice runs normally again.

Expected Results:
CFR fonts should be supported or, if that’s too much trouble, ignored.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

I installed the font files and started LO 5251 - no crash.


Also no repro when testing with:

Sorry, there must be something else going on, or a difference between mine and your system.

FWIW, I also see the fonts listed in the font menu dropdown list in Writer.
Comment 3 eisa01 2019-04-20 18:45:55 UTC
Works fine for me too, installing the four Hanazono Mincho fonts

(aside, is the .sfont working? It's 909 bytes and FontBook reports a serious error with it)

Can you test again on the latest release?
