Description Branko 2019-05-27 15:54:10 UTC
Description:
There is a bug with rendering Cyrillic with the Droid fonts in Libreoffice (I tried Writer and Impress), i.e. they don't show at all (image in attach). In Droid Sans Cyrillics doesn't show up at all, and in Droid Serif it only shows up when italic. For Droid Sans Mono it works fine.

Other software on my computer (Calligra) works fine.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Write some Cyrillics in Droid Sans/Serif


Actual Results:
you can't see the text

Expected Results:
you can see the text


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Branko, what Linux distro do you use?
Do you have enabled OpenGL in LibreOffice? Check it in Tools->Options dialog in LibreOffice->View page.
Can you try install LibreOffice from official site of TDF ?

https://www.libreoffice.org/donate/dl/deb-x86_64/6.2.4/ru/LibreOffice_6.2.4_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz  for deb-packages

or 

https://www.libreoffice.org/donate/dl/rpm-x86_64/6.2.4/ru/LibreOffice_6.2.4_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz for rpm-packages

I can't repro it in windows build

Privet Roman,

I'm using Manjaro with KDE. I've tried both with OpenGL and without and the issue remains. I'll try the official builds and tell you what happens.

Cheers
Branko

I just upgraded to 
Version: 6.2.4.2.0+
Build ID: 6.2.4-1

from Manjaro's libreoffice-fresh and the problem persists.

I'll try 6.2.5 next

What happens if you highlight the text?
I guess it's still invisible, but who knows.

If you save this as a document and load it, is it still invisible?

What happens if you export it as a PDF and open that?

What happens if you start LO from the terminal with "SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=qt5 soffice"?
I don't recommend that for normal use - too buggy, just to get some data point.

You have an interesting locale setting: en-US (mk_MK.UTF-8). So the text is expected to be in English?

Please create and attach a sample odt document, which shows the error.

And then reset the bug to UNCONFIRMED.

Thanks.

Ok, today there seems to be no problem with the Droid fonts in the document or any other document. I can't reproduce it anymore. It's really strange as I think I did not do any upgrades.

The locale is English because I prefer the English menus (not to get lost in translation) and the default language for my documents is Macedonian.

Thanks for your help and keep up the good work!
