Created attachment 159967 [details] Screenshot after second launch (Start Center without fonts) This issue appeared not new; also seen a while ago 5.4/5.3. Harfbuzz? Font life cycle? OpenGL? OTOH.. I'm still using my out dated, broken drivers... Failed vulkan call. Error: -3 Failed to create pipeline. Error: -3
Only a note/ for the record; This attachment 159967 [details] (start center without fonts) happens only with Skia Vulkan and *cleartype* enabled [with my somewhat supported drivers] after the following commit: author Luboš Luňák <l.lunak@collabora.com> 2020-03-16 15:08:11 +0100 committer Luboš Luňák <l.lunak@collabora.com> 2020-03-18 10:48:19 +0100 commit 271e8c99a2a1e28b7eb9fdc5fe16f8be1e8ee763 (patch) tree 9235764f08b015ec92716c1f6f1cf777e55ca3cc parent 2ff6fce634ff173b9eb8a703b7f2f265f6e3ecb1 (diff) implement text rendering using directly Skia (Windows) The Windows code needed for Skia text rendering. Like with the X11 code, the font is slightly lighter than with Skia disabled, but otherwise it seems to work. And like the X11 code this also requires patching Skia to use the font we want.

Confirmed, on Windows 10 with Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: fe1cf8656d6963844553993a77ef565fb2fbeda7 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win; Locale: en-US (en_US); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded The existing disable Hardware Acceleration [1] (wef 5.3 release) provided in the SafeMode does not seem to affect Skia rendering (disabling Vulkan for Raster, nor disabling Skia for GDI). May need a tweak, or additional control if Skia is isolated. =-ref-= https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/30522/
