Bug #: 47995
Summary: font features disabled when using OpenType font --
even when same font in TrueType format works
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.5.2 RC1
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: stevan.wh...@googlemail.com
OpenType fonts are the trigger for many serious problems in LibreOffice.
Tested this on my distro version 3.4.4, as well as 3.5.2 RC1. (on two
different architectures running Ubuntu 11.10)
The effect is: text in some Indic languages such as Hindi and Sinhala was just
mangled, evidently because necessary font features (ligatures, positioning,
etc) were not activated. But then the problem would go away. And then come
back.
But I have been messing with the installed fonts a lot.
The trigger
===========
The problem occurs precisely when OpenType versions of the fonts are installed.
If TrueType versions of the exact same fonts are installed, the text looks
fine.
The font features in question are not specific to OpenType.
The type of outline has nothing to do with it.
