Description: Recent versions of macOS include some fonts that are described as document-support fonts. An Apple support document (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213266) lists these fonts toward the bottom and describes them a follows: "These fonts are available only to documents that already use the font, or to apps that request the font by name. Some are older fonts that were included with earlier versions of macOS or Apple apps." In macOS 13, LibreOffice cannot display these fonts (even in existing documents) and will substitute them instead. It would be nice if they could be used, at least for the documented purpose of supporting existing documents. This behavior is different from macOS 11, where document-support fonts can be used. I have not tested on macOS 12. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a document containing a document-support font (e.g. Garamond). 2. Check whether the correct font is used. Actual Results: The correct font is not used, and the font name is italicized to indicate it was substituted. Expected Results: The specified font is used.

Created attachment 183399 [details] Example document using document-support fonts This is an example document showing the problem. It contains the Garamond and Times fonts, which are document-support fonts in macOS 13. Note that Apple's TextEdit and Pages can display this document with proper fonts in macOS 13, so the fonts clearly are present and usable.
With the test document provided, I see the Garamond font displayed correctly. With the Times font, if I select a word or the phrase and right mouse button click to open the context menu, I can choose Character and see an indication that the font isn't installed and has been replaced by a substitute one. Indeed, Times is not installed on my Ventura system, although Garamond is (I don't remeber installing it, so it must have been there a while). Confirming at least for Times.
I confirmed this with Version: 7.3.7.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: e114eadc50a9ff8d8c8a0567d6da8f454beeb84f CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 13.0; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI: fr-FR Calc: threaded from the AppStore.
I confirme the issue with Version: 7.4.2.3 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 382eef1f22670f7f4118c8c2dd222ec7ad009daf CPU threads: 10; OS: Mac OS X 13.0; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE Calc: threaded % uname -m arm64 % machine arm64e % sw_vers ProductName: macOS ProductVersion: 13.0 BuildVersion: 22A380 % sw_vers -ProductName macOS % sw_vers -ProductVersion 13.0 % sw_vers -BuildVersion 22A380
Many of the document-support fonts (like Garamond) are in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/FontServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Fonts/ApplicationSupport, but some others (like Times) are still in /System/Library/Fonts. I suspect (but have not confirmed) that these fonts may be blocked from being listed by font enumeration APIs, but they can still be requested by name.
Dear Stephen Heumann, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!
