I have encountered a really strange issue following the installation
of a non-standard ttf font into /usr/local/share/fonts/TTF. Briefly,
any text formatted to use the new font simply disappears from the
OpenOffice Writer document it is used in; except when that text is
bracketed by some other font. For example the following text is
formatted with DejaVu Serif 12pot in a Writer document:
A TEST of many things
of fonts and scripts and ceiling wax
and coleslaw and kings
If I highlight 'of fonts and scripts and ceiling wax' and change the
font to the font I am having the difficulty with then this is what I
see:
A TEST of many things
and coleslaw and kings
But the text is still there. Copying and pasting the text block as
displayed above gives this in a simple text editor:
A TEST of many things
of fonts and scripts and ceiling wax
and coleslaw and kings
If instead, however, I change the font of just the word 'scripts' to
the problem font then I see the word in the desired font, albeit is a
much, much smaller point size than I expected.
Does anyone here have any idea of what is going on and how to correct it?
