Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 14629
Type 1 fonts cannot be used.
Last modified: 2003-05-20 18:10:25 UTC
Spadmin scans directories with type 1 fonts, but does not make them available for selection. I tried both .pfb and .pfa fonts, and neither works. When in the font path, Writer does not list .pfb fonts, but Draw does, though they are not antialiased. Draw fails to embed them in printed output. Writer lists .pfa fonts, though the preview in the dropdown menu is wrong. Generally, Type 1 fonts seem to be entirely unusable with Beta2. The same fonts work fine in Beta1.
please provide a sample pfa or pfb file and the according afm file as bugdoc.
Created attachment 6295 [details] .tgz with .pfb, .afm, and fonts.dir.
cp->pl: please have a look. the font seems to be valid (at least pfbtopfa creates a pfa font that looks ok to me). spadmin does not see the font and copying the font to share/fonts/truetype has no effect as well.
The reason for this misbehaviour was fixed with issue 12936 : at some point type1 fonts would not be recognized anymore if their corresponding .afm files where in the same directory and not in a afm/ subdirectory. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 12936 ***
