Description shannon 2025-07-18 17:08:14 UTC
Description:
Using Bold character typeface setting instead of the Bold font modifier. The font is an Emigre font with separate regular, bold, book, etc. typeface styles. The bold typeface setting is not preserved in the file after saving, closing, and reopening the file. Selecting bold character typeface in styles is not preserved after closing & reopening.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a font with different typefaces
2. Create a Writer document using the font
3. Format the character properties to use the bold typeface instead of regular
4. Save, close, and reopen the document

Actual Results:
Text reverts to regular typeface.

Expected Results:
Text that was formated with bold typeface should retain bold.


Reproducible: Always

LO 25.2.5.3 on Windows (64-bit) handles OpenType font typefaces correctly, with selection of bold typeface being preserved within the odf file. However, if same file is then opened on a macOS client, the font is not recognized and is converted to a generic font. Perhaps this points to an incorrect handling of OpenType font ID in macOS version?

This appears to be the same issue reported in bug 105298.
