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.
Just to clarify, you don't have "Bitstream Charter", but do you have Bitstream Vera?
The former is bitmaps, the second is scalable. It is possible that LO does not use by default bitmapped fonts. There may be a switch for it.
There is. My preferred font is Bookman Old Style and this appears and disappears when the switch , Non-proportional fonts only, is on or off.
But this does not show Bitstream Charter, only shows Bitstream Vera fonts.
It appears that I did not realize that "Bitstream" is the brand, and "Charter" is the model name. So the two above do not compare.
Also, I do not know how to produce in the CLI a list of all fonts available. Maybe a recursive list of /usr/share/fonts/, but that's only filenames:
Telcontar:~ # ls /usr/share/fonts/* | grep Bitstream Telcontar:~ #
But also
Telcontar:~ # grep Bitstream /usr/share/fonts/*/*dir Telcontar:~ #
So no, I do not know how to get a listing and check it.
Anybody still got a typewriter ? Didn't have these problems back then.
Yes, I do have one, but the ribbon may be dry. And another very old unit. I also have two nine pin printers. Fonts not recommended for reasonable speed. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
