Description Eyal Rozenberg 2022-12-09 16:12:57 UTC
Created attachment 184067 [details]
A Hebrew document using the David font family

When I open the attached MS-Word document in Writer, I get many lines on the console saying:

warn:vcl.gdi:2567:2567:vcl/source/outdev/font.cxx:1064: Font fallback to the same font, but has missing codes

and when I say "many", I mean 84.

Now, the document uses the "David" font family; and my Writer has a font substitution from "David" to "David CLM", and it works.


There are several issues here:

1. Why print this message a zillion times? Once per document is enough. Or if it's intended to relate to a single line, or paragraph, or text run etc - it could mention it, e.g. "On page X paragraph Y line Z" or any other way to refer to a piece of content in the document (e.g. "Nth text element in the document" or whatever). 

2. There is no fallback to the same font (that I know off) in this document, or at all. How is that even possible?

3. The David CLM fonts do not have "missing codes" which are necessary for this document
