------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat May 21 06:44:40 -0700 2005 ------- This problem appears to be fixed in 1.9.104 - I am submitting the bug ONLY because after posting the original bug and then posting that it was fixed in the 104 pre-release, I got several emails (apparently from list members - I don't know if they were developers) asking me to go ahead and file the bug anyway as it is not documented anywhere that it was fixed. (I do software reliability engineering as part of my job and as a matter of course I ran the beta releases through a small stress test, loading about 3000 truetype faces onto my system. This behavior is observable when reboot the system but is not if merely stop and resart the fontserver, even if I stop, blow away *all* fonts.dir, fonts.scale, and fonts.cache-1 files, and then reboot xfs letting it rebuild the fonts.* files from scratch. After rebooting the system, if I run staroffice7 or oo-1.1.3, all of the "extra" fonts I have picked up work perfectly - in particular 2 favorites Garamond (Gentium was a typo in the original posting on the email list) and Bauhaus (roman, italic, bold, and bold italic in each). They display properly on the screen and print properly. (note: I'm using Bauhaus and Garamond as examples here, but there are a few other fonts which do the same - these are just the ones for which I have current sample pdf and .odt/.sxw files sitting on disk). As soon as I bring up oo-1.9.100 (or .79, or .97), these two fonts start misbehaving. If I bring up oo-1.9.100, then the bold versions of these two fonts do not display as bold in OO, but rather and the non-bold versions. Occasionally they still print as bold but usually they do not (and the "occasionally" here means it happened once or not more than twice). Also immediately after bringing up oo-1.9.100, IF I already had an open staroffice7/oo-1.1.3 window, then the fonts still *display* properly there but the bold versions print as non-bold. If I did not have any so7/oo1.1.3 windows open when I first bring up OOo-1.9.xyz and bring one (so7/oo1.1.3) up, the bold versions of these fonts both display and print as non-bold in the so7/oo1.1.3 window. I am able to duplicate this behavior on 4 linux boxes and a sparcstation [note: but the sparcstation uses the fontserver frome one of the linux boxes]. Looking at the fonts in the pdf exports of the documents using pdffonts, BEFORE bringing up oo-1.9.100, the fonts Bauhaus-Bold and Bauhaus-BoldItalic are included (along with Bauhaus-Regular and Bauhaus-Italic). After bringing up OOo-1.9.100 a new exported pdf file will not include these two bold fonts but only the non-bold versions. The same story applies for Garamond. I finally got a windows2000 box to try it on, and the problem did not occur there. (???)
