Hi Michael,

Thanks for filing and the clear screen shots.

On Ubuntu 32 bits I cannot reproduce the bug with 4.4.0rc2, 5.1.0 (build 2016-01-12) nor with a recent daily (2016-01-12).
So possibly a windows specific problem?

Cheers,
Cor

Please test with a currently supported version of LibreOffice (5.x). Marking as NEEDINFO. If you can confirm with 5.x series mark as UNCONFIRMED. Thanks

An other Windows PC the same problem with the last version 4.4.7 and 5.0.4  - not working - the second line is missing.
Comment 7 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2016-01-19 21:54:35 UTC
Not reproducible for me with LO 5.0.5.0.0+ and 5.1.1.0.0+ on Ubuntu 15.10 x86-64.

I guess th problem is related to W10. Please, could you try with another version of MS-Windows, like 7 or 8 ?

Best regards. JBF
Comment 8 Michael Velten 2016-01-20 05:45:31 UTC
Windows 7 Professional - 32bit - 5 Computer - Libo 4 + 5 , same Problem.
Comment 9 Michael Velten 2016-01-20 05:50:40 UTC
All versions LibreOffice > 4.2.8.2 did not work
All version before LibreOffice =< 4.2.8.2 are working, also the whole 3.x Serie
Comment 10 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2016-01-20 08:29:50 UTC
Not sure if it was already the case with LO 4.3 but since LO 4.4 you can use OpenGL for all rendering. Please could you check if this option is activated or not.
It is set in menu Tools > Options > LibreOffice > View.

Best regards. JBF
Comment 11 Michael Velten 2016-01-20 09:21:34 UTC
I found out that the problem is the Font "MS Sans Serif" which is not displayed with Versions >= 4.2.8.2 

The Font is on the Computer installed. If I change the Font to Arial or any other, save it with < 4.2.8.2, than open it with >= 4.2.8.2 than the Text is visible again.
Comment 12 Michael Velten 2016-01-20 10:02:54 UTC
Ok to explain it better. The attached Word Document above has a Font "MS Sans Serif" in the second header line. It will be shown in the Font Dropdown Box as "MS Sans Serif" too.  

The newer versions did not have this font in the Dropdown Box, its called there "Microsoft Sans Serif" there is no "MS Sans Serif".

Possible there is the Problem ?

Using a converting table works than

If I enter the problem Fonts in a converting table, than it works with >= 4.2.8.2 . But that is a problem, I do not know that a Font is missing or wrong inside a Document I received, because I see not the chars and even I do not know which Fonts I must convert. So there is bug in >= 4.2.8.2
Comment 14 Urmas 2016-01-20 13:00:43 UTC
OpenGL is not related.
The invisible line cannot be navigated with cursor keys.
Comment 15 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2016-01-20 13:10:14 UTC
Strange, on my Ubuntu 15.10 the font MS Sans Serif is not installed (its name is written in italic in the dropdown font list in the sidebar) however the text is displayed with a replacement font.

Best regards. JBF
Comment 16 Michael Velten 2016-02-05 13:29:28 UTC

Comment 19 Michael Stahl (allotropia) 2016-05-11 18:48:47 UTC
"MS Serif" and "MS Sans Serif" are Windows 3.0 .fon non-scalable fonts
which are not supported and must be substituted automatically by VCL

-> duplicate to the notorious Windows "Courier" bug
