Problem description: Chinese font names appear in English, for example the font TW-Kai (called 全字庫正楷體 in Chinese), on Debian Linux. Chinese font names appear in Chinese on Windows. 全字庫正楷體 appears as 全字庫正楷體 on Windows. Save a file with the font name TW-Kai on Debian Linux. Then, this font is _not_ recognized on Windows. (Save a file with the font name 全字庫正楷體. Then, this font is _recognized_ on Debian Linux.) Steps to reproduce: 1. The operating system used is Linux debian 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Mon Feb 25 01:04:36 UTC 2013 i686 GNU/Linux. 2. The LibreOffice version involved is: Version 4.0.2.2 (Build ID：4c82dcdd6efcd48b1d8bba66bfe1989deee49c3) 3. Type and select some Chinese text. 4. Select the font TW-Kai on Debian Linux. (The font name 全字庫正楷體 is missing.) 5. File -> Save 6. Open the file on Windows (having installed the font mentioned) 7. The font mentioned is _not_ recognized. Compare: 1. Type and select some Chinese text on Windows. 2. Select the font 全字庫正楷體 on Windows. (The font name TW-Kai is missing.) 3. File -> Save 4. Open the file on Debian Linux (having installed the font mentioned) 5. The font mentioned is _recognized_. Current behavior: LibreOffice on Windows does not recognized the Chinese font name in English in the sample Linux file. Expected behavior: LibreOffice on Windows should recognize the Chinese font name in English in the sample Linux file. Related: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59055

Confirm the same issue. In addition, all Chinese font names are affected, i.e. Chinese font names are shown in English in the Font Name list. Chinese font names in English are treated as different fonts. Chinese font names in English are not the same as Chinese font names in Chinese. --- LibreOffice Version: 4.2.0.4 Build ID: 05dceb5d363845f2cf968344d7adab8dcfb2ba71
I tried this with 4.0.6 and 4.2.5 on Linux Mint and wasnt able to reproduce this using text pulled from < http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice > and pasted without formatting and then setting them to the Simsun font and then loading them in LibO on Windows 7. Can you please try a newer version of LibreOffice and see if this still happens. There is a chinese forum for LibreOffice users that recently started and i thought you might be interested in checking it out < http://libreofficechina.org/forum.php >

What more information do you have? All multilingual names of font is contained in each font file.
@Kevin, @Matthew: can you guys have a look at this one.
The result for attachment 77297 [details] is the same on both Linux and OSX - the "全字庫正楷體" font shows in the font selector as having been substituted (italic text) (On Linux it looks to me as though the correct font has actually been used, but the interface still indicates substitution, so I'm not sure if this was intentional or just because it was an available Chinese font) To reproduce on Windows you would need to install the font in question. I can't see it through the original link, but it is available here: http://file.magiclen.org/index.php?file=54572d4b61692e726172 (click the large link and wait) On the basis that for interoperability between users with different languages, we should really recognise all the font names defined in a font, setting -> NEW
This is not just for Chinese fonts, it affects any font that changes name based on your system locale, such as Japanese fonts. Calls to CreateFont on Windows will always accept the English name of any font, but the actual font name that you see in font dialogs and such will often be the localized name instead of the English name. It depends on the system's locale settings. LibreOffice should always allow the English name, just like Windows itself does. Given an English font name, it's not very hard to use a few Win32 API calls to get its localized name. I was testing out LibreOffice on Japanese locale. The major fonts are MS Gothic and MS Mincho, spelled "ＭＳ ゴシック" or "ＭＳ 明朝" when using Japanese locale. I was unable to type "MS Gothic" into the font selector, since it changed the ASCII characters into fullwidth characters as I was typing. But I was able to copy-paste that font name in. Even though it says that the font name is unrecognized, it still displayed using that font, probably since the Windows font mapper always recognizes the English font names.
I also encounter the same problem.My system is windows 10 English version, Chinese locale,current language for non-Unicode programs:Chinese(Simplified, China). In the font drop down list the Chinese font names are blank,and only the Symbol preview is shown.
Sorry, I have LibreOffice 5.0.2.2 installed.
