It's not a bug in the package because building with --without-fonts was a deliberate choice. It's more a wish to add them -> wishlist. And retitling accordingly. > LibreOffice comes with a set of fonts to have no problem for sharing files > between systems, these fonts are removed from the Debian package. > > For fonts that have not yet Debian package, please, can you leave them in the > libreoffice-common? IMHO it's not the job of an office suite to ship fonts. (Except here maybe OpenSymbol.) Get them packaged in Debian and the problem will be gone.. Thus I *do* see that this not-packaged-fonts thing is a problem, but I am not sure we should ship them in -common. We'd step on the new packages' toes if we put it in /usr/share/truetype directly and there might be reasons why they are not packaged... Regards, Rene
