Created attachment 176595 [details] Embedded Bebas Neue font (2010), restricted This issue is based on a today's real-life question on IRC, started with: > Guest88: Hi! I have a question about embeding fonts. ODT and OTT files with > fonts don't show up on machine without this fonts. > Guest88: any idea whats wrong ? The sample file that the user provided (see attachment) contained embedded fonts, including Bebas Neue; however, on my system (where this font was absent), the file didn't use the embedded font for text rendering. The issue was that the embedded font had restricted licensing rights, that got detected in EmbeddedFontsHelper::sufficientTTFRights, and loading the file was (rightfully) rejected. However, there's no way for user to know that. It looks as if LibreOffice doesn't work correctly. The proposal is to implement an infobar, that would tell something like "some fonts embedded in the document couldn't be loaded due to restricted licensing rights".

Good idea, ideally with the option to load anyway. Guess this could be an interesting easyhack. Mike's code pointer is vcl/source/gdi/embeddedfontshelper.cxx in 153 if( !sufficientFontRights )... SAL_INFO(). For the infobar search for AppendInfoBar().
