Description: In Libreoffice 6 + the culmus-fancy fonts don't appear even though they are installed in the system. These fonts are in PFA format. This is a regression, as in Libreoffice 5.1 there is no problem using these fonts. This possibly affects other PFA fonts. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the culmus-fancy font package 2. Run Libreoffice 6+ 3. search for culmus-fancy fonts (such as Ozrad CLM, Anka CLM) Actual Results: They don't appear as optional fonts. Expected Results: They appear as optional fonts (as is the case in Libreoffice 5.1) Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: manually adding TTF versions of these fonts from here ( https://github.com/Boruch-Baum/culmus-fancy-ttf ) and the fonts appear, which strengthen the suspicion that this regression is to do with PFA fonts.
Khaled: do we still support PFA fonts?
El'ad: * Can you check earlier release versions, to figure out when since when this was broekn? * Can you try reproducing using non-RTL-language PFA fonts?
We no longer support Type 1 fonts. Source: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.3#Feature_removal_.2F_deprecation See also discussion in Bug 104701.
