Description rbruenner 2015-11-05 11:53:36 UTC
Created attachment 120286 [details]
Repro HTML file with images how it looks like on my machine.

When an HTML document has a certain font family defined for the entire document, Writer does not apply the font to the headers.

See attached file.

In the body part of the style definition of the HTML file, there is the document-wide assignment of the font family:

font-family: Corbel, Tahoma, Verdana, Arial;

So the document should be displayed in one of the sans-serif fonts listed there.
The attached pictures show that both MS IE 11 on Windows and Mozilla Firefox 41 on Mac OS X are displaying the file as intended.
However, Writer is using its default serif font for the headers (see picture) while it uses the correct fonts for the normal paragraph text, for ordered and unordered lists etc.

Instead of simply applying its default header styles, Writer should map HTML's h1, h2, h3, ... using the proper font settings of the HTML document.

As an aside, h2 and h2 are using Liberation Serif 14 and 12 pt, respectively, while h1 uses Thorndale 16 pt - a font that is not present on my system and obviously being replaced by Liberation Serif for displaying purposes. It is not clear to me where this setting comes from.

Cheers
Rüdiger

4.3 branch is EOL (End Of Life), please give a try to last stable LO version 5.0.3
Comment 2 rbruenner 2015-12-14 12:21:40 UTC
Using version 4.4.7, I can confirm that this bug is still there. Writer behaves the same. (Note: this version is not yet EOL at the moment, neither was it at the time when the bug was orginially reported.)

Dear rbruenner,

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 with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

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) from https://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
