The behavior of fontconfig is correct, because LC_ALL overrides LANG. The issue seems to be that UI language is not necessarily reflected in any environment variable, Libreoffice even allows to set it explicitly in settings. Maybe the correct solution is to call fontconfig with custom environment which depends on use case. I'd suggest the following: For UI: Set LC_ALL=<UI locale>; call fontconfig For file save: Set LC_ALL=C; call fontconfig In this way each user will see font name tailored to their UI, but the font name used inside file read/write will be stable across all systems. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
