[libreoffice-users] Re: Font disappears in Draw text box

Thank you for the reply, Cor -

Since posting my "bug", I have read that Lion does indeed have an issue with font verification of 
non-system installed fonts, whether they are registered or not. I have since followed a routine 
that was suggested: 1) do regular system maintenance and disk verification, 2) clean the font cache 
for the entire system, 3) validate the fonts loaded, and remove any fonts showing an error in that 
process, 4) reset the system fonts, which cleans out any non-standard typesets currently not used 
by Lion (the odd ones are dumped into a "deleted fonts" folder for later deletion or addition  into 
the users font folder, which is separate from the system's), 5) delete the trash if fonts deleted. 

According to a Microsoft Office user, this procedure was the answer. However, I still had 
disappearing text in some text boxes when I reopened LibreOffice. Perplexed still…

Hope this helps any other posters who may have an answer, or suffer this issue.
