13th July 2017:

With the Leap 42.2 upgrade of LibreOffice from version 5.2.5 to version 5.3.3
the fact that, with version 5.3 LibreOffice has dropped support for Type 1
(Postscript) fonts was a not so pleasant surprise.

Please consider placing a note indicating that, LibreOffice as of version 5.3
no longer supports Type 1 (Postscript) fonts in the Release Notes.

Is also, possibly an issue for the Leap 42.3 Release Notes.

---------------------------------------------------------

I haven't found anything in the LibreOffice Release Notes indicating this
issue:

There's only this article in "Linux Magazine":
<http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Blogs/Off-the-Beat-Bruce-Byfield-s-Blog/LibreOffice-drops-Type-1-font-support>

There's information in this Document Foundation Bug Report: Bug 104701
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104701>

---------------------------------------------------------

There's possibly help for the folks (like me) with a suite of Type 1 fonts
here:

Haven't tried to build the "Adobe Font Development Kit for OpenType" yet --
will happen later today.
