Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 85977
OpenType fonts in OOo on Linux
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
I really can't put up with not being able to use OpenType fonts in OOo on Linux much more. It's especially annoying considering that Linux has fully supported OpenType longer than Windows.It is not cross-platform if somebody with OOo on Windows or MacOS sends a file to somebody with Linux and the file is a mess because the Linux user's version of OOo cannot see the fonts used by the Windows or MacOS user.
@bulentozkir Please look up issue #78749, issue #16032, and issue #43029 (depending if you want already implemented OpenType processing enabled for latin/cyrillic languages, want the full OpenType processing implemented for TTF fonts, or the full OpenType processing implemented and the OTF format supported) Yes, I know, you probably need all of those but they've been artificially split by developpers when issue #16032 started attracting too much votes, limiting the scope of the issue people had already massively voted on. So don't get into this trap and do vote/comment on every single issue you care about.
Oh come on, nmailhot, no reason for conspiracy theories. I think it is a *good* thing these issues have been split up, as the old issue was very vague. Have you read the following blog posting: http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS/entry/aqua_port_three_times_faster#comment-1202368523000
Reassigned to ES.
@ralphie Had the issue been split early on that would have been all fine and dandy, but the only effect of splitting four years later is wreaking havoc in the votes and comment counters, and diluting them. As all the issues deal with OpenType logic you can't really work on one of them without working on the others. Functionnaly the split does not make much sense either (in fact part of it had to be undone for this reason). Meanwhile mega-issues like notes support in writer never got the soviet salami treatment. But I guess that's my cynical self speaking. Ignore me.
@nmailhot: yes, I think it is your "But I guess that's my cynical self speaking. Ignore me." that makes issues *sometimes* (noticed the asterisks? ;) ) go the wrong way. Please, please, refrain! Try to stuck to the facts as nuch as you can! Thanx! :) And spare us, please, with your "soviet" things and bla bla, espially concerning notes, where I am involved in and where I know that things are going pretty good now, especially that we are close to the integration, let's say, next week? So, please, less "bla bla", less emotion! More facts, short and accuratly expressed! That will spare time for *everybody*! ;) Now reassining to... @HDU (aka "Mr Fonts" ;) ): can you find in this issue something new? I mean it says "OOo can't deal with OpenType fonts". Is that something surprising? Else please close as duplicate. Thanx!
