Description estienne.bloch 2021-11-29 23:19:26 UTC
Description:
Since I updated LibreOffice 7.2.1 to 7.2.3, all the text in all my tables into Writer show the "Liberation Serif" font instead of "Liberation Sans" when their shapes are set to Bold or Italic.
I tried to swap manually to another one, then back to "Liberation Sans", but in vain.
After that, I verified the presence of the file : "LiberationSans-BoldItalic.ttf" in my system, because my tables titles uses Bold and Italic shape, and it is effectively in the regular path "C:\Windows\Font\".
Then, I compared the shape of the font showed in Writer to try to identify the font it really show instead, and think that it is "Liberation Serif", if I'm not wrong.
The text in the regular shape seems not affected, only the Bold, Italic, or Bold and Italic ones.
The same error appeared even outside of the tables.
I haven't tried printing, yet...
It's very frustrating because I intend to begin a migration process to exclude step by step the non-free fonts I used previously as many other people.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type a text and choose the "Liberation Sans" font to apply.
2. Apply the shape Bold, or Italic, or Bold and Italic.
3. 

Actual Results:
The visualization change immediately to "Liberation Serif" instead of the selected one "Liberation Sans", wich is always displayed and selected in the toolbar.

Expected Results:
No visualisation of another font which is not selected and applied.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I have no further usefull informations to add.

I have to complete my statements because I missed something important.
I think it is a font substitution error, because the columns of my tables were resized during the interversion (see my window capture in the attachements).

To complete (once again), I try to create a new document and open LibreOffice Writer to do it. Then I used the copy/paste fonction from the NotePad with some text. So I saw the font was selected on "Liberation Serif" by default !
To verify this, I used the "backward" button on the toolbar, and the font has not change. Finally, I opened a new blank document, and found that the default font was still "Liberation Serif".

The font used for the bold and italic text is not Liberation Serif.

The font of the default in the default template is indeed Liberation Serif, but that is not the problem.
