Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 23716
[Inconsistency] Hide non-printable fonts from Insert-Special Charcter
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:19:39 UTC
In general OOo offers font types (printable/non-printable ones) depending on the purpose of the apllication. That means applications with a typically use case to print documents only provide printable fonts. This prevents user error and invalid issue reports (of course:-). * example is the Writer. Applications with a typical use case of generating online documents, are less strict and provide *ALL* available fonts. * example is Impress or HTML-Writer resp. Writer in Online Layout. Infact switching the Writer from document view to Online Layout changes the amount of available fonts. Unfortunately the Insert/Special Character dialog doesn't care about the application or the document view (Online Layout on/off). It always provides *All* fonts. This is problematic as users may for example choose mathematical symbols from Insert/Special Character, which do not appear in the print-out later on (WAS issue 17731). The enhancement: the "Insert/Special Charactr" dialog should display fonts in accordance to the application from which it was called like the "Format/Character" dialog does.
Summary: The "Insert/Special Character" dialog should display fonts in accordance to the application from which it was called like the "Format/Character" dialog does. Hello Herbert, please give approval for this evaluated OO.o 2.0 flagged issue. If you confirm with the target OO.o 2.0, then please keep it on your owner (or the owner of the concerning developer) for implementation. In case you want this issue for 'OOo Later', then please reset the target milestone. If you decline the issue finally, please set the resolution to 'Wontfix' (but do not close). In case of 'OOo Later' or 'Wontfix' please reset it on Bettina's owner. Thank you.

According to the OOo roadmap retargeting to 'OOo Later'.
Changing owner to bh as requested.
As the developer has accepted the issue, it does not make sense to reassign it to me. Reassigning on "OO.o later" to me is ok, if development has not accepted an issue. So this one is set back to development.
Reassigned to Herbert.
Reset from new to started, as it already was accepted by development.
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
