Therefore, whether or not LibreOffice users choose to convert their existing Type 1 font collections to OpenType, or not, is a purely personal, commercial, decision (IMHO). Please note that, Adobe had converted their entire (commercial) font library to OpenType by the end of the year 2002. Currently, font foundries tend to offer OpenType as the "normal" format and, the commercial print industry has, AFAIK, also mostly migrated from Postscript to OpenType . . . --------------------------------------------------------- Therefore, the purpose of this Change Request is to, simply, make the world aware of the change LibreOffice has made and, to trigger those folks who have not, yet, migrated their purchased fonts from Postscript to OpenType, to do so . . . -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

FYI: In LibreOffice 5.3.x it is possible to switch back to the old rendering engine which does still support/allow to use Type 1 fonts too. Options->LibreOffice/Advanced->Open Expert Configuration, change the property /org.openoffice.Office/Common/VCL/TextLayoutEngine to "old".

Attempted to use this workaround: - restored all my Postscript fonts to /usr/local/share/fonts; - fonts-config -f and fc-cache -f; - LibreOffice Writer picks up the Postscript fonts in the Font Selection menüs; - but, Writer doesn't display them in any existing document which was using them; - also not in a new document which uses them. --------------------------------------------------------- Resetting the VCL TextLayoutEngine parameter to "new" and reverting the Postscript fonts to OpenType, results in Writer displaying existing documents as expected. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
