Font menu display not working correctly

users
#1

I suspicion this is yet another problem with WIN10 ;-(

       reasoning: others have been having problems with non-MsFt programs
in WIN10.

#2

Has anyone had this issue with other Windows versions, or Linux?

I have not installed 5.0.x yet on my Linux systems, so I do not know.
I have down-graded to 4.4.5 on the 2 Win10 [Home and Pro] dual boot laptops.

Hopefully Win10 will fix the issue[s], if it is the actual problem.

Hi :slight_smile:
So it sounds like you are saying the problem didn't exist in the 4.4.5 = in
which case it might be good to post a bug-report about it so the devs know
there might be an issue. If Win10 IS displaying the fonts correctly in the
list but only for the "Still" branch then it's gotta be something screwy
with the 5.0.x of LO.

I'm trying out a Chromebook right now so i can't even test it on Linux :frowning:
Also for the 5.0.x branch it's waaaay too early for me to install on a
main machine.

it displayed correctly with 4.4.x when I went to Windows 10

Then I updated/upgraded to 5.0.0 then 5.0.1. It did not work

Went back to 4.4.5. Did not work as well.

When I removed the LO5 config folders that the uninstall procedure [Win10 Programs and Feature menu option], more of the fonts came back to be viewed correctly in the Font Menu, but no all of them came back.

Of course, For one version of Win10 [Home], I cannot get Firefox to open a new tab without that tab being used by opening Bing. Plus many of their default APPs do not work properly, like their new browser or their movie player.

SO, it could be a Win10 issue or a combination of Win10 and LO5.

If I can uninstall LO 4.x.x and 5.x.x and all ll of the registry values, maybe I can get a new install of LO to work better on Win10 [Pro and Home].

For now, 4.4.5 shows the MOST in the actual look/feel of the fonts in the font menu, than that of 5.0.0 or 5.0.1.

Maybe if I uninstall the non-Windows 10 installed fonts, then reinstall them, it might work better. May try it later.

​Tim, could you provide a screenshot showing what you see, so that I can
compare it to what I see on both Windows 10 Pro and on Linux Mint 17.2
(with ttf fonts installed) ? I'm not certain I understand what is missing
from you roll-down font menu....
