With respect: that sounds astonishing.  Did you read the last few dozen comments (or Stuart's apt summary in 
this thread: "... requires major refactoring of font handling, with risk to legacy documents and lack of 
a consensus on what approach is best for ODF and OOXML interoperability--*cross platform*")?  That bug 
is an education in two non-trivial problems: font handling and Microsoft coexistence.  Yes, it has taken time 
to resolve, but with limited resources we are blessed to have such thoughtful considerations of the best way 
forward.

Kind regards,
John
