So poking at this for bug 76239, which lead me around to bug 68194

I'm not sure we have things correct on the Windows installer.

I manually cleaned Windows 7 sp1 64-bit or all LibreOffice fonts, and verified not winsxs GAC residual.

C:\Windows\Fonts empty of all fonts, no remaining linkages in Windows registry.

Install clean LibreOffice 5.0.0.5, CLI msiexec.exe /i run as administrator, with verbose logging (attached).

full slate of LO external fonts are present.  Launch LO and fonts are present.

Uninstall LibreOffice 5.0.0.5, CLI msiexe.exe /x run as administrator, with verbose logging (attached).

The LibreOffice installed fonts are NOT removed from C:\Windows\Fonts

Uninstall logs seem to suggest there is no action performed against the fonts which are listed as Installed: Local  Action: Null

Don't think the installer is behaving as intended, i.e. regards themsidbComponentAttributesSharedDllRefCount, with the work done for bug 68194.

So, guess the point of all this is that we don't seem to have the logic for handling registration into the C:\Windows\Fonts directory correct for installation (recording details for uninstall) or for doing the uninstall.
