Description افشین 2025-06-01 08:59:09 UTC
Description:
When installing a Linux distribution, a large number of fonts are installed by default on the system. These fonts all appear in the font dropdown list within LibreOffice.

As a user who regularly works with only a limited set of fonts, I find it inconvenient to scroll through a very long list every time I want to select one of my preferred fonts. This negatively affects workflow efficiency.

Suggested Improvement:

It would be very helpful if LibreOffice allowed users to customize or filter the font dropdown list so that only user-selected or frequently used fonts are shown. This could be implemented as:

    A user-managed "favorite fonts" list that appears at the top or exclusively in the dropdown.

    A filtering option or toggle to hide rarely used or unwanted fonts.

    A way to blacklist certain fonts from appearing in the dropdown without uninstalling them from the system.

Such a feature would greatly improve usability, especially on systems where many fonts are pre-installed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install a Linux distribution that includes many pre-installed system fonts.
2.Open LibreOffice and click the font dropdown list.
3.Notice the long list of fonts, requiring extensive scrolling to find commonly used ones.

Actual Results:
 The font dropdown shows an excessively long list of fonts, making it hard to quickly find and select commonly used fonts.

Expected Results:
 The font dropdown should allow filtering or customization to display only user-selected or frequently used fonts for easier access.


Reproducible: Always
