Description cyanshrike 2015-09-30 03:55:18 UTC
I found the issue after update Libreoffice to 5.0.2.2 from 5.0.1.2.

I am not sure whether the issue also exists in other CJK environments.

Steps to reproduce:
1. The system locale of Windows 7 is Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan) but the Display language is English.
2. Please make sure you have the PMingLiU Chinese font. (e.g. PMingLiU Regular)
3. Set Language of User Interface to English (USA). Then restart Libreoffice.
4. Open Writer (or Calc), which has Formatting toolbar.
5. In the Font lists, you can see a blank item which should be '新細明體'. (You could see more blank items if you have other Chinese Fonts)

Compare:
1. Set Language of User Interface to Chinese (traditional). Then restart Libreoffice.
2. Open Writer (or Calc), which has Formatting toolbar.
3. In the Font lists, you can see a '新細明體' item.

I think that the key is the system locale of Windows 7 must be "Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan)".

I also reproduce the issue on a new copy of Windows 7 Pro 32-bit with VirtualBOX.

I did test it with Taiwanese locale.

Oops, I actually didn't, changed the wrong setting.. but I don't want to reboot now just because of it. Maybe later.

Any updates on the bug?

I have the same problem. On two computers with Windows 10 (1511), one can show Chinese font names and the other does not. The one that can show has Microsoft office 2013 installed.

The configuration of the computer that has problems are:

OS: Windows 10 Pro (with 1511 udpates)
Libreoffice version: 5.0.3 (updated to the latest)
The system locale is English, 
The encoding for non-unicode program is Chinese simplified.

Thanks.

Dear cyanshrike,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)

appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
