In Version: 6.5.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: e26d89371f0e4f41476c9a99be01d98dedb76776 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18362; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: threaded I only can see ComicSansMS. But I can't find ComicSansMS in the font list (not in Word and not in LO). I conly can find Comic Sans MS. How did you create that file?
This file was produced from an original .doc file containing this "ComicSansMS" font. I agree this is somewhat a buggy file. The question is: can LO writer do something about it? Should it match the font substitution for Word?
This particular blog is without a doubt awesome and also amusing. I have found a lot of interesting stuff out of it. I ad love to visit it again soon. Thanks! http://blackboardguide.com/uq-blackboard/
I have only Windows now and I see "Comic Sans MS" installed and in the list of fonts in MSO and LO. You can call your fonts "whatever" and here it seems that someone typed "ComicSansMS". LO properly shows "ComicSansMS" and that it doesn't exist so substituted. This is trivial issue and NotABug,
@Frederic: If you disagree with the NOTABUG resolution, please provide the detail about the font with which your MS Office substituted (a screenshot would be best if you don't know the detail about that font), and also the reason LibreOffice should follow MS Office on this, as "Comic Sans MS" seems a very reasonable substitution.
Created attachment 156900 [details] .png file with screenshot of Word displaying the .docx file This is how the file is displayed in MS Word. I agree "Comic Sans MS" is a sensible font replacement, but this is not what Word does. So we have to choose between a sensible choice, or a compatibility choice.
