Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15489
Type 1 Fonts no loading
Last modified: 2003-06-11 09:21:13 UTC
After I upgraded to OOo 1.1 beta 2, I noticed several of my fonts were strange or missing. In particular, the Nimbus fonts are missing. I examined share/psprint/pspfontcache from the OOo 1.1 beta (1) installation and found lines like this: FontCacheDirectory:/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 File:n021024l.pfb 1;1043875650;1 Nimbus Roman No9 L 0;NimbusRomNo9L-MediItal;2;8;5;2;1;964;324;288;0;1230;669;1230;669;n021024l.afm In the share/psprint/psfontcache file in my beta 2 installation I have this: EmptyFontCacheDirectory:1049256124:/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 So, whereas beta 1 sees font files in that directory, beta 2 does not. I'm running Red Hat 9. This forum note also describes the same problem on a debian machine: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5038&highlight=nimbus I believe Issuezilla issue 14836 might be a related issue.
os->pl: Please have a look.
In beta2 the afm files belonging to pfb (Type1) files were not searched for adjacent to thy type 1 font file and therefore neglected (as OOo needs both: font and metric file). This was fixed with issue 12936. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 12936 ***
