Description João Paulo 2019-05-28 19:56:49 UTC
Description:
After removing LibreOffice 6.2.3.2 64 bits and installing LibreOffice 6.2.4.2 64 bits on Windows 10, I noticed the Caladea font family wasn't installed.

After checking the list at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Fonts, I could verify the following fonts are missing:

* Caladea
* Carlito
* DejaVu Sans
* DejaVu Sans Condensed
* DejaVu Sans Mono
* DejaVu Serif Condensed
* Gentium Book Basic
* Liberation Sans
* Liberation Serif
* Linux Biolinum G
* Linux Libertine Display G
* Linux Libertine G
* OpenSymbol
* Noto Sans
* Source Code Pro
* Source Sans Pro
* Source Serif Pro

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have LibreOffice 6.2.3.2 64 bits installed on Windows 10.
2. Verify the fonts at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Fonts are installed.
3. Uninstall LibreOffice 6.2.3.2.
3. Install LibreOffice 6.2.4.2 64 bits.

Actual Results:
The fonts listed at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Fonts are missing. Documents that use them (because it was installed before) have their layouts and fonts changed.

Expected Results:
The fonts listed at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Fonts should be installed, as they were installed before.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I don't thinkt there is an easy workaround because one needs to find and download all the font families listed at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Fonts so documents formatted with them are correct again.

I'll mark as a duplicate of older similar bug. 
But, are you sure this is reproducible? 
Did you try more times? 
Did you reboot computer in the meantime?

I rebooted after an uninstall then installed again. Sorry I didn't mention here already (I forgot to save the bug's web page address to revisit it).

I think rebooting after uninstall functions as a workaround.

Maybe the .MSI package from the older version didn't unregister correctly the fonts after uninstalling, then a reboot/logoff was necessary so Windows would rescan installed/registered fonts and the .MSI package for the new version could register the fonts again.
