FWIW, I believe I just replicated Michael's problem. There were a bunch of updates pending and I accepted them all except the LibreOffice one. I then checked I had Bitstream Charter in my font list and I did. Just to clarify some ambiguities. By 'my' font list, I mean the list of fonts that LibreOffice displays. I then accepted the LibreOffice update and now I no longer have Bitstream Charter in my font list. :(
I have no idea why and have had no time to investigate, but the problem is real and does not affect just the OP. I do observe that the update is listed as a 'security' update but is in fact a major version update, which seems at best a misleading description. It also pulled in a bunch of extra packages for more functionality that I have no interest in. So I am one very disappointed punter at present.
AFAICT, if Michael really cares about this font, one cure might be to go into YaST and downgrade to the previous version. I haven't tried that myself so I can't be sure it will solve his problem. The previous version I referred to above, is the previous version of LibreOffice (5.2.5.1 as opposed to 5.3.3.2)
If you go to System Settings>Fonts you will find that Bitstream Charter is there -- but it is not in LO. Weird, yes?

I can't check this at the moment as I'm using Linux Mint (dual boot) but I'm sure you are right. The whole point of this is that prior to the update LO "did" use Bitstream Charter and now it doesn't.
I did have a quick look in Yast to try and revert to the previous version of LO but that didn't provide the previous version, next time I reboot into 42.2 I'll have another look at that.
M Whether this should now be called "solved" I don't know, but what I did was delete LO 5.3.3.2 and install LO 5,2.5.1 via yast. I locked it too. So now LO works as I want. I'm not that attached to BS Charter as opposed to other fonts I just happen to like it as a default, like when I had to us MS Office for work the default was ariel, so I used that.
Others who have commented, for which thanks know more about all this than I do, particularly why the latest LO as provided by openSUSE has done what it did. M -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
