Created attachment 85106 [details] Linux-authored presentation with problems rendering in OSX .odp presentation created with Linux version of OpenOffice (sorry, don't know which exact version it was, but it's from 2010-2011). When loaded in LibreOffice for OSX, fonts are misshown. Look in particular at slides 4, 9, 11, 17, 24, 42, 70. The font in the original was "Courier 10 Pitch". Some of this renders in Olde English gothic-style script (which is amusing but not useful), and some in plain sans-serif but with larger line spacing, which means that the text no longer aligns with the overlaid graphics, and some slides spill outside of their frames. Tested just now with LO 4.0.5.2 under OSX 10.7.5, but this problem also existed with the LO 3.x series.

BTW, "Courier New" appears to be the best replacement to the original font (such that the line spacing is as expected)
Created attachment 103151 [details] Slide 4 rendering after installing font (4.0.3.3/OS X 10.9.4) Hilarious symptom indeed. The bug persists to 4.3.0.3 (aka RC3) on OS X. I cannot confirm if and what happens on Windows (at the moment), but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't look right. After downloading and installing Courier 10 Pitch through Font Book, I get the expected appearance (see attachment for example). Now, it should be possible to include Courier 10 Pitch with LibreOffice for Windows and OS X: the Fonts section of the license file would just need to updated with the copyright message from Bitstream. Courier 10 Pitch, and possibly other fonts, are not exactly "readily available" to casual users, at least without having to purchase a license or come across the efforts of a community member (https://groups.google.com/d/topic/trelby/CGkpcMBXW9U/discussion); nor is manually installing fonts an everyday task. At the same time, distributing it may inadvertently pass the issue further down when someone uses Courier 10 Pitch under good faith but then hands their file off to someone without it. Yet it is seems to still be included with many Linux distributions, often alongside Liberation Mono (the substitute for Courier New). I would seek additional opinions…

The bug remains in a different form. Now, instead of substituting some olde-English gothic font, it substitutes a sans-serif proportionally spaced font (something like Arial Black), and the vertical alignment is wrong - see how the text misaligns with the image on slide 4. The font displayed in the drop-down is "Courier 10 Pitch" in italics, presumably signifying that the font is unavailable. If I manually change the font to "Courier New" the vertical alignment is correct - but incidentally not with "Courier". So I think better behaviour would be to: * substitute Courier 10 Pitch -> Courier New [or at least some other monospaced font] or: * include the Courier 10 Pitch font with LibreOffice, as suggested by Christopher Chavez

The issue is still present with libreoffice 5.1.5.2 under OSX 10.11.6 and as described in comment #7 The monospace font from the sample document is being replaced with a proportionally-spaced sans-serif font with different vertical spacing. If it were replaced with Courier New it would be fine. I will attach a screenshot of page 4 of the sample document (how it renders when opened, and how it renders after Courier New is explicitly selected)

With current LibreOffice (5.3.6.1, macOS 10.12.6): behaviour is not quite so bad in that the gothic / olde-English font is not used, but it does not use a monospaced font. As a result the rendering is still poor. I will attach a render of slide 4.

This issue is still present, with behavior resembling the screenshot in comment #6. Version: 6.2.1.2 Build ID: 7bcb35dc3024a62dea0caee87020152d1ee96e71 CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.14.3; UI render: default; VCL: osx; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded
I also tried this on Windows finally, and the same issue applies, with appearance similar to the screenshot in comment #6. However, a similar issue is now apparent even on Linux (although I observed the font substituted was DejaVu Sans Mono, rather than the proportional sans-serif font on Windows or macOS). This is because LibreOffice 5.3 removed support for Type 1 fonts, which is the format Courier 10 Pitch is typically available as on Linux (such as the xfonts-scalable package on Debian/Ubuntu); see #104701. Using Courier 10 Pitch now requires having it in a compatible format, such as the TTF version I linked to in comment #3. I think this issue might be rephrased as "improper substitute used for Courier 10 Pitch". I'm not sure LibreOffice is responsible for choosing font substitutes, though.

Courier 10 Pitch is not a frequent font that you need to install if you will use it, and moreover it seems free. You may define font replacement in Linux, but alternatively and better, you may define your own replacement like explained in bug 64509 (unfortunately there+s bug 43185). So this may be WontFix or set as a duplicate, which I do. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 64509 ***
