Description Jeffery Small 2019-05-29 22:18:51 UTC 
Created attachment 151769 [details]
Image of the Paragraph Style pop-up menu with Arial font

UI:  Xubuntu 18.10 using standard LibreOffice package installation.

See attached image.  Using a standard English language, in the Paragraph Styles Menu under Font, when Arial is selected, the various style names (Regular, Italics, etc.) are displayed in some language that appears to be Eastern European.  This does not happen when other fonts, including Arial Black are selected.  These should display in standard English.

Jeffery, thank you for reporting the bug. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.

I checked this on version 6.2.0.3 which I have installed here and it shows the same foreign language as seen in the attached image from 6.1.6.3.

I would like to install 6.2.4, but when I go to the download site, all I can find are deb and rpm packages.  In the past I was able to download tar packages which let me manually install LibreOffice in a custom location and create by own links to the binaries, but I can no longer locate these.  I don't want to override the standard package from the repository, but let it update naturally.  If you can point me to the current location where I can find a tarball, I will install and check it.  Thanks.

Pleas ignore my question about installing LibreOffice in a custom location.  I found some instructions for doing this and installed 6.2.4.2.  This version also displays the foreign characters as shown in the attached image.
