--- Comment #5 from Alex Taylor <alts...@gmail.com> --- CORRECTION regarding 'MS Mincho' and 'MS Gothic'. After more tests, it turns out that the problem isn't in their cmaps at all. It is entirely due to the handling of the font names. Normally I use a FreeType-based system font driver (FT2IFI), which reports the English font names of MS Mincho and MS Gothic to the OS (which in turn is picked up by OpenOffice). However, if I revert to the default IBM TrueType driver, its name reporting behaviour is different - on DBCS systems it defaults to using the Japanese font names. Although OpenOffice doesn't use the system font driver for rendering, it does rely on it to report the names of installed fonts, and it evidently cannot cope with the Japanese font names. So, the workaround in the case of MS Mincho and MS Gothic is to BOTH replace the default versions with the newer (Windows XP/Vista/7) versions, AND install the FreeType IFI driver (either FREETYPE.DLL or FT2IFI.DLL) in OS/2. This does not help with the other default OS/2 Japanese fonts, as they either lack English names entirely, do not have Unicode cmaps, or both. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
