Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 4.1.3.2

Would you tell us if it is a 
.ttf, .otf, or some other font "extension" type.

I do not have "Calibri Light", just "normal", italic, bold, and
bold-italic.  All of them are .ttf

There was a similar font listing bug last year or early this year.  I do
not remember which version it was that had the missing font in that Mac
system.

Is there any reason why could cannot use 4.0.5 or 4.0.6, till the font
issues are worked out?

I had a problem with the font scroll-down dialog box for the fonts in
4.1.2 [Ubuntu 64-bit], which was a show-stopper for me, but I am
perfectly happy to still use 4.0.5 or 4.0.6 till they get the bug fixes
done.


Just to through this out,

can you copy the font in the "internal" font folder for LO?  I know that
there is a folder in Ubuntu/Debian for LO fonts

/etc/libreoffice4.0/share/fonts/truetype/

There are 69 fonts and a file called "fc_local.conf" in that folder.

So I wonder if your Mac has a similar "root" folder for LibreOffice,
there might be a place there to copy that font to so it is within LO's
"internal" list of fonts and not looking for the "font folder" that
shares fonts with all of the installed packages.
