Description ksso 2023-08-13 18:11:25 UTC
Description:
I am handling a font with different documents, and when copying and pasting between documents "suddenly" a different font with the same name comes out, and it messes up the job.
In previous versions of LO, times new roman was repeated in the font list, one in italics (the name) and the other normal, now only one font appears but it keeps going through the middle of the work.
there are also problems when inserting text in tables, sometimes it "jumps" and changes size even though the text in both files is set to a different size.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.I don't know how to reproduce it
2.This time I copy and paste from a document that already has fonts messed
3.

Actual Results:
messed fonts

Expected Results:
stable fonts


Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

the same with the other two paragraphs, same font and same size, but different aspect.

Thank you for reporting the bug. 
Unfortunately without clear steps to reproduce it, we cannot track down the origin of the problem.

Please provide a clearer set of step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce the problem. I can see from attachment 188951 [details] that indeed the two paragraphs have different aspects despite having the same font and sizes and that is a strange problem but I did not understand the issue with the table.

I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the requested information is provided.

The tables are for another request (to save time I made them in one video)

Regarding the fonts, it's because the font in italics and the one that isn't in italics get mixed up, I don't know if it's because I have templates (from previous version of LO) with one font and the system inserts the other font, or if it's a configuration problem, but It's a problem because in the end I don't know which of the two fonts is the real one, nor how it looks in Word or on other computers... the fonts issue come from previous versions... but I don't know if it's a mistake, but it would be good if it just there is a font with only one aspect, it is an opinion

Steps to reproduce
1. install LO (in ubuntu is already installed)

I used this commands (may be some are repeated)
sudo apt-get install libreoffice-base libreoffice libreoffice-l10n-es libreoffice-lightproof-en libreoffice-templates  libreoffice-help-es mythes-es  hyphen-es  libreoffice-gtk3  libreoffice-gnome  unixodbc  cups-bsd  libsane-common libxrender1  libgl1  openclipart-libreoffice
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install libreoffice-l10n-de hunspell-de-de-frami hyphen-de mythes-de libreoffice-help-de
sudo apt install hunspell-en-us hyphen-en-us mythes-en-us libreoffice-help-en-us
sudo apt install libreoffice-gtk3
sudo apt install libreoffice-style*

2. now you have to time new roman font (italic and non italic title), same size, same name, different appearance
Comment 4 ksso 2023-08-15 02:37:28 UTC
I just tested a little bit, and when I paste some file on top of a text with Times New Roman, LO receives it as the version with italic title, but if I pull down the font menu, and select Times New Roman, the system selects the font with normal title.
It seems that it is not from templates, but the system plays with both fonts at the same time. If you need, you could upload another video. Thanks

I mean, I can upload a video later, thanks...

You know now that you mention it, I didn't notice it before that the fonts are different. I think that's the explanation for the bug. The reason why the text looks different is because that's just how the font looks like.

Possibly you manually edited the font name and typoed "Times News Roman" at some point. I checked that it is possible to manually point to a non-existent font like that.
