Description Italo Vignoli 2013-12-07 22:44:01 UTC
Tested with Writer and Impress documents.
File > Properties > Font > Embed font in documents
File > Save As...
Once saved, change the extension to ZIP
Decompress the ZIP file using a standard compression tool
The Font folder is missing

edited summary notes and version field to the first release where the bug has been reported. (LO 4.2 Beta 2 / LO 4.1.4 RC 1 / LO 4.1.3)

@Italo
did you experience this issue with previous releases (4.1.2 or 4.0.x)?
it is important to know if this is a regression and when it took place
Comment 2 Italo Vignoli 2013-12-11 13:21:08 UTC
Font Embedding was definitely working on 4.1.0 and 4.1.1, as I used the feature for the LibreOffice conference presentations to produce the relevant slide. I do not know if it was working on 4.1.2, as I never tried it with that version.

The first time I realized that the feature was broken I was using 4.1.3, but I did not have the time to report it immediately.
Comment 3 tommy27 2013-12-11 17:49:29 UTC
so it's a suspected regression in between of 4.1.1 and 4.1.3
a MacOS QA tester is needed to confirm and eventually bibisect this.

Confirmed on OS X 10.9 LO Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha0+

decompressed zip does not have a font folder. Setting to NEW.

Might be worth a look if you have a spare cycle and a Mac Tor =)

I tested it with 4.1.0, 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 and none of them worked, so I don't think it is a regression. It never worked on Mac.
Comment 9 Andras Timar 2014-05-08 16:17:45 UTC
AquaSalGraphics::GetEmbedFontData() always returns NULL, the function is not implemented.
