Created attachment 116009 [details] character window The dialog boxes are missing labels and text. Ui components are not aligned correctly (see attachment). The application crashes very often - especially when I am using track changes. The whole thing feels unstable. Is it because I'm using the wrong java version? I'm using the 4.4.3 version on OSX Yosemite 10.10.3 running JRE 1.8.0_25-b127 (Oracle).

For the test, could you rename your LO directory profile (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#Mac_OS_X) and give it a new try? Also, do you confirm you use x86 32 bits and not x86-64? Indeed, LO installers for Macos is 64 bits only?
Yes, I'm using the 64bit version. I corrected that. I renamed (and also removed) the user profile but it didn't change anything. Two things I have noticed: * Sometimes (every 3rd-6th time) LibreOffice starts up with a correctly rendered start screen. All the other windows and GUI elements will be rendered correctly too. * I'm experiencing the same problem with OpenOffice.
I can not reproduce this with Version: 4.4.3.2 Build ID: 88805f81e9fe61362df02b9941de8e38a9b5fd16 Locale : fr_ OSX 10.10.3 I have Java 1.8_45, but that shouldn't make any difference. I don't see the graphics corruption you show in your screenshot.
Armin: you’ve described a bunch of unrelated issues in a single bug report, which makes it unmanageable. I’ll focus on the font alignment issue in this comment. The issue is caused because you’ve configured a different UI typeface for OS X. (Understandable, because Apple made a huge mistake when shoving Helvetica Neue down its users’ throats). Apple does NOT support these “unofficial” configurations, and OS X does not expect the especifically-adapted default font to be changed for any other. The metrics obviously differ. And we are unable to guarantee a correct alignment for every font out there. So, in a nutshell, that part of your bug report is “NOTOURBUG”. Oh – and for the record, LibreOffice is a C++ application that does not depend on Java, except for parts of Base; so there’s likely no correlation. You can run the program without Java.
Hi Adolfo, I mentioned the crashes as they might be related to the button/font issue. Maybe both problems were symptoms of the same cause. Of course this might not be the case. The missing labels are the most tangible issue and I agree to focus on that one. Suspecting the change of the system font to be the culprit was a well educated guess. Unfortunately I never changed my system's font. I'am not using San Francisco, or Fira Sans or anything like that. I'm using the plain vanilla Helvetica Neue. *However*, on a closer look I realized that LibreOffice isn't using my system font. "Libre Office->View->Use system font for user interface" is checked, but the setting is ignored (see also: Bug 91400). Occassionally LibreOffice is using Arial - then the GUI renders correctly. Most of the time it wants to load another font for the GUI (see attachment). I tried to identify the typeface and decided to remove a font called "DIN" from my system. Now everything is rendered in Arial. This seems to have fixed the problem for me.
Armin: thank you so much for the additional details. So this [1] is failing in the Mac. LibreOffice is not detecting the UI font and is apparently falling back to one of those ugly lists of hardcoded fonts? [1]: http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/unotools/source/config/fontcfg.cxx#249

See tdf#87016 for more explanation about this point.
(In reply to Adolfo Jayme from comment #7) This sounds plausible. But I don't know why it would fall back to the (maybe malformed) "DIN Regular" font. It isn't even listed in the code.
** Please read this message in its entirety before responding ** To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (5.1.6 or 5.2.3 https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo"; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Were you able to confirm this? Armin: is this still a problem for you?
> Armin: is this still a problem for you? I tried, but I was unable to reproduce this bug in LibreOffice 6.0.42 I have heard that LibreOffice isn't trying to use the system font on OSX anymore. Maybe that resolved some issues. Looking at Bug 91400 there still seem to be some issues with the hardcoded fallback fonts, though.
Ok, let's set to WFM
