Step to reproduce

1 Create a new doc with writer

2 Choose font : Linux Libertine G:texm=1

3 Type some text

4 Click on insert special chart 

=> The preselected font is Sergoe UI

Expected behaviour :

it should be : Linux Libertine G:texm=1 or at least Linux Libertine G

No such problem for me with Linux Libertine G.

What is texm=1?
Do you really use LibreOffice version 3.6? Please test with 4.4.x and report here.

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.

texm in font name

What the font selector should be

@Beluga

I think you did not follow exactly step 2 to reproduce the bug

You must see "Linux Libertine G:texm=1" in your font selector.

To do so you have to *manually* add ":texm=1" after the font name. 

So that you can use graphite's special features

If you want to know what texm = 1 is for, just type :

SO_4^2^- 

If nothing happens, then texm is not active. If something happens, then try to do the same without this feature.

@Beluga.

Of course I don't use LibreOffice 3.6 but the bug is present in this version. And is still present in latest master, 4.4 and 4.3

If I remember well. 3.6 is the libreoffice version that firstly include graphite features

Reproduced. Pre-selected font in special char. was Tahoma.

Lowering priority as this is just an annoyance: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/0/06/Prioritizing_Bugs_Flowchart.jpg

Thanks Beluga for reproducing the bug.

yes it is just an annoyance, but it should be easy to solve, maybe an easyhack candidate here ?
Comment 7 Matthew Francis 2015-04-07 05:56:17 UTC 
In fact, LO has supported this feature from the beginning. The issue is present in both OOo and LO 3.3.0
