Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 108702
Copy & Paste may change the font name
Last modified: 2013-01-29 21:52:57 UTC
Found first in OOo 3.2RC1 FR under Ubuntu 8.04, confirmed in OOo 3.2 rc4 and DEV300m70. Steps to reproduce : - open a new presentation - insert a text area and insert some text in it (eg "sample of text") ; the default font is Arial in my case, and default size is 18. - change the color of some part of the text (eg "ample of t") - select the whole text and copy it by ctrl+C - open a new text document in Writer, default font is DejaVu serif 12 - paste the text by ctrl+V - move the cursor before the letter p in "sample" and look at font name, in my case I see "Lohit Hindi"; I have Arial only for "sam" but not for "ext" at the end of the text. Same problem when copying from writer to calc : - create a new text document and type some text, eg: example of text, with default font (Times New Roman 12) - change the part "mple of t" to bold - copy by ctrl+C the whole text "example of text" - open a new spreadsheet - select cell A1 (do not double-click on the cell) and paste by ctrl+V or click copy button ==> part "exa" is in Arial (default in Calc for me) and the rest "mple of text" is in Times New Roman
Hello jbfaure, I can confirm your observation ... :( If I create a new presentation and follow your instructions, I can confirm, that the font changes in Writer (in my case from Liberation Sans, 18pt to Bitstream Vera Sans, 18pt) ... :( If I copy text from Writer to Calc, the font changes from Liberation Sans 10pt to Bitstream Vera Sans 10pt ... :( In both cases I mean the parts of the words, where I changed the formatting of the text as instructed ... ;) Debian SID AMD64, Germanophone version of OOO320m11 HTH Thomas.
Confirmed on 3.2.0final Linux X64 EN-US + Langpack FR on Mandriva 2010.0 Perhaps a clue about what happens from Impress to Writer: copy/pasting a piece of text in Writer will create a "<masterpage_name>~LT~Gliederung X" paragraph style with X depending on which "heading X" you have copied. If you copy a title, it will be: "<masterpage_name>Standard~LT~Titel" etc.
