Bug Description

I have two boxes with Ubuntu 7.10. On both machines I have installed additional fonts "Luxi Serif" in this case. Presentations made on the first machine using this font works fine, but when opening the same presentation on the other machine Impress pretends it is using "Luxi Serif" but don't. The font that is really used is Times New Roman, and when adding new text to the presentation "Luxi Serif" are not listed in the font dialogue.

On both machines "Luxi Serif" is found in the Gnome font dialogue (Nautlius and other Gnome applications).

Installation is made by copying the font-files both to ~/.fonts and /usr/share/fonts/truetype/myfonts and run sudo fc-cache -f -v and fc-cache -f -v ~/.fonts (When OpenOffice didnt recognise the font in the .fonts-catalog I installed it in the main-catalog)

I installed Luxi Serif by running:

apt-get install ttf-xfree86-nonfree

And Ubuntu hardy with openoffice.org 1:2.4.0~rc2-1ubuntu3 saw the fonts just fine so I am marking this bug as Fix Released. If after upgrading you continue to have trouble with this issue then feel free to reopen this bug.

Thanks,
