I just installed OpenOffice 4.1.0 for Windows and can confirm that it's just the Mac version having this issues. May be a duplicated of Issue 123081 or Issue 124496 Nop. US English here. Still the same problems. Only 16 weights appear in the Typeface menu. But thanks. Good to see other are having similar problems. I've posted another issue 125270 with testfiles and a download link to a open-source family with more than 16 fonts. https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125270 I see no such limit. The "Font" drop-down-list shows 30 fonts. That number is correct, because "Fira Sans", "Fira Sans Italic" and "Fira Sans Bold Italic" are grouped and you have to use the "Typeface" drop-down-list to differ them. If case you refer to the font list in the context menu– that list is cut on purpose (see issue 61775) and it depends on what other fonts are installed whether you see a "Fira Sans" font or not. The error I see is, that grouping does not work correctly. (1) AOO should group the regular and italic font of the same weight. So you should get only one entry in the "Font" list and differ via the "Typeface" list. But that does not work. For example, I see in the "Font list" the font "Fira Sans Eight" and "Fira Sans Eight Italic" as well. There should be "Fira Sans Eight" only. You can easily see, that the grouping fails; when you set a word with font "Fira Sans Eight" to italic via Format > Character, the glyphs are not taken from "Fira Sans Eight Italic" but slanted. (2) In case of "Fira Sans" AOO does not get the font, which corresponds to the "bold" weight from the "Typeface" drop-down-list, but uses "Fira Sans Bold Italic" for upright Bold too. MS Word 2010 shows the same error, so it might be a problem in the font itself. The problem of large font families is already discussed in issue 79878 but somehow stuck. I work on Windows 7. Thanks for your detailed response. As I mentioned above, the issue is not taking place in the Windows version. It's a Mac problem only. The fonts we are developing are paired. Because I could not provide the files, I uploaded a document with the most extended open-source family to prove my point. We are not developing Fira Sans. Even though our fonts are grouped as a pair, they still show up in the menu. Some of them don't because there seems to be a limitation which cuts at 16. |
