[Workaround available] Some ttc fonts not shown in Libreoffice

This is a prolonged (for more than 1 years maybe) issue for me: My LibreOffice installation does not recognize any ttc fonts. (And I cannot bear this anymore for some reason)
ttc fonts are merely a comination of two or more ttf fonts. I have installed both ttf and ttc fonts in /usr/share/fonts/TTF directory either by copying them into the directory and run `fc-cache -fv` or by installing those font packages in repositories. But LibreOffice can only recognize those ttf fonts, not ttc ones.
* I have tried both "libreoffice-writer" and "libreoffice-fresh" packages from official repositories, with "~/.config/libreoffice" deleted.
* I have no "~/.font*" or "~/.confg/fontconfig" directory.
* Those ttc fonts I installed CAN be recognized in any other "Select font" dialog.
* I tried Abiword and it CAN also recognized those ttc fonts.
* Not a single ttc font, but all the ttc fonts cannot be recognized by LibreOffice.
Any ideas?
UPDATE:
I found out that some of the ttc fonts can actually be recognized by LibreOffice, others, however, can not.
$ find /usr/share/fonts -name *.ttc
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/msgothic.ttc # NO
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/mingliub.ttc # NO
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/msjh.ttc # NO
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/batang.ttc # YES
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/ukai.ttc # YES
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/simsun.ttc # NO
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/uming.ttc # YES
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/msyhl.ttc # NO

/usr/share/fonts/TTF/msjhbd.ttc # NO
/usr/share/fonts/wenquanyi/wqy-microhei/wqy-microhei.ttc # YES
Here is all the ttc fonts I have installed. "ukai.ttc" is from ttf-arphic-ukai package, and "wqy-microhei.ttc" is from wqy-microhei package. All the others come from aur/ttf-ms-win8. I copied these fonts from a Windows 8.1 installation media and the integrity check is passed.
Only five of them (those with "YES" marks) are listed in LibreOffice. The others are not.
I am very confused.
UPDATE 2:
It seems that this is a prolonged bug in LibreOffice. I modified the PKGBUILD file of aur/ttf-ms-win8, spliting those ttc files into ttf files.

You just added them to 'ttcs_to_extract', don't you?
Yes, here is the modified part:
Nice, that's what I wrote that function for! I will update package based on your findings soon.
Wow! I love your function, too!
However, please note, that spliting those CJK fonts will result in very large package sizes. A typical Chinese ttc font is about ~35 MiB and contains 2 - 4 font weights (styles), so there will be 2 - 4 ttf files, which have a total size of ~150 MiB or more.
49M ttf-ms-win8-6.3.9600.17050-1-any.pkg.tar
163M ttf-ms-win8-japanese-6.3.9600.17050-1-any.pkg.tar
70M ttf-ms-win8-korean-6.3.9600.17050-1-any.pkg.tar
161M ttf-ms-win8-zh_cn-6.3.9600.17050-1-any.pkg.tar
254M ttf-ms-win8-zh_tw-6.3.9600.17050-1-any.pkg.tar
These are the packages my modified PKGBUILD generated. You can see how large they are compared to those ttc versions. And the only reason to split ttcs is that LibreOffice has a bug recognizing them. (Other programs recognize ttcs well)

  • Some background jobs not shown in SM37

    Dear Friends,
    Some of my background jobs are not shown or visible in SM37. But, it is available in TBTCO, TBTCP & TBTCS tables. These jobs are scheduled in daily basis. These tables having records for all days of missed jobs.
    I dont know, why it is not comming in SM37. I tried in many search parameters in SM37 like prog. name, date and so on.
    These missed background jobs are not comes in spooler (SP01) also.
    Kindy, suggest me to find out the missed background jobs.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Rajagopal
    Chennai - INDIA.

    Hi rajagopalan,
    Normally this should not happen. Make sure the following in sm37:
    a. The start date is :  01.01.1800
    b. The end date is : 31.12.9999
    c. All the checkboxes (six checkboxes) are ticked.
    d. username = your username
    e. jobname = *
    SM37 gets records from the view V_OP (containing TBTCO and TBTCP)
    and filters for username using the field SDLUNAME.
    So you can basically cross-check if the count is atleast correct or the jobs were of different user (fieldname in the view/table) etc. (From SM37, you can export to excel and check the count)
    regards,
    amit m.

  • T410s - Windows 7 64-bit - Fonts Not Shown

    I received my T410s (2910 CTO) yesterday - Core i5 with integrated graphics, 4GB RAM, 250GB 1.8" hard drive, Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I proceeded to install various apps from Microsoft Office and Adobe CS5. Installation went fine, programs started okay. As soon as I saw the extremely long list of fonts in Word, I wanted to remove as many of them fonts as I possibly could.
    Brought up Fonts panel. Only 10 fonts -- yes, 10 puny, ancient, bitmap fonts. What? Excuse me, but I saw many fonts in Microsoft and Adobe apps. The fonts are indeed there, but they are simply not shown -- no Segoe, no Cambria, no Corbel, no Constantia, not even Arial and Times New Roman, nothing.
    I got nervous and decided to restore the system back to the starting point. No luck. Same problem.
    Today, I used the ThinkPad Toolbox to create the 3 factory-recovery DVDs from the Lenovo partition. Rebooted from the DVDs to rebuild C drive. Set up the system and created my account. Windows 7 came up fresh. I went straight to the Fonts panel to check. Horror -- the same 10 bitmap fonts.
    What is going on? The Lenovo factory-installed Windows 7 has problems showing fonts? What should I do now?
    Please help. Thanks in advance.

    create new folder on desktop, copy all the fonts to the folder, then right click the font files and select install.

  • Some device fonts not appearing under 11.0.1.152

    Mac OSX 10.7.1 (Lion)
    Safari 5.1
    Firefox 6.0.2
    I have several swfs published for FP 10 & 10.1 which have been working fine under FP 10.3.182.10 in both Safari and Firefox.
    The swfs have code that displays a device font ("_sans") for certain languages, such as Greek, Russian etc. After upgrading to 11.0.1.152 some of the device font text is not appearing. I say some as it stills appears correctly in some places but not everywhere.
    I have re-installed 10.3.182.10 and it works perfectly again in both browsers.
    In case this problem was related just to the browser plug in I also installed the standalone player for 11.0.1.152 (Flash Player Debugger) and ran the swf from my desktop by double clicking it. Once again the fonts stopped displaying correctly.
    If I run Test Movie from within Flash Professional, the text appears correctly as I have installed 10.3.182.10 as the version under "Players" in the Flash Professional installation folder.
    Can anybody shed any light on what is going on here?

    I think I have been able to replicate the issue.
    My swf has some dynamic text under a mask which by default is set to display as Arial. By changing a Boolean variable to true, I set the text field to use a new TextFormat which has a font property "_sans".
    Here is the complete code:
    import flash.text.TextFormat;
    var useDeviceFont:Boolean = true;
    if (useDeviceFont) {
              var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
              format.font = "_sans";
              myClip_mc.myText_txt.embedFonts = false;
              myClip_mc.myText_txt.defaultTextFormat = format;
    myClip_mc.myText_txt.text = "Hellobvxcxcvbnrsdjytfkugilhdjgsfhjkl";
    The result is that with FP 10.3.182.10 installed I can see the text. but with 11.0.1.152 the text does not appear. Here are two screen shots:
    My system is Mac OS X 10.7.2
    Safari 5.1.1
    Message was edited by: yachts99
    I can also see the same issue when viewing the swf in the standalone versions of the player.

  • Some icons are not shown correctly in Gnome tray

    The image should tell everything. In the tray there should be icons from Guake, Dropbox and Skype. However only Skype is visible. Does anyone know where could be the problem?
    I noticed that Synergy icon behaves also wrongly.

    Just now, I installed LabVIEW 2012 f3 (32-bit, English) and checked for the issue. But the font(NI7SEG) was not shown properly in VI either.
    - Both of Korea and English version of LabVIEW 2012 on Win 7 Korea OS shows wrong results. It is same on 64-bit OS.
    - LabVIEW 2010 but on same PC shows correct fonts.
    Is there a limit of number of fonts in LabVIEW? There are more than 100 fonts are shown in the "Selection Font" dialog and I can divide them into 3 groups by sequential order. I find that all fonts in the 3rd group are not applied correctly.
    (1st group)
    Arial Unicode MS...
    Bookshelf Symbol 3....
    Windings 3
    (2nd group)
    @Arial Unicode MS...
    @Terminal
    (3rd group)
    Arial...
    Consolas...
    Courier...  
    Licida Console... 
    NI7SEG...

  • Sometimes, some images are not shown...

    Hi!
    Out applet shows (or loads?) all images correctly, but sometimes, one or more images are not shown (or loaded?). What can it be?

    I am having a similar problem so maybe someone can help me too.
    I find that my images load correctly most of the time, but once in a while (say 1 in 4 attempts), some of them dont load. The reliability of this is much better now that I have moved the images out of the jar, but its still not right
    I also find that sometimes the classes do not load. I get classdef.not.found for a file that really should be there. I can see that the jar containing it has been downloaded to the temp dir. I have been clearing my cache out manually for now between every attempt.
    I am not sure what code to show. I dont think its necessarily a problem with images since classes dont always load either, but here is the code for loading images anyway.
            MediaTracker tracker = new MediaTracker(applet);
            for (int i = 0; i < img.length; i++) {
              img[i] = applet.getImage(urlCodeBase, imagePath + images);
    tracker.addImage(img[i], i);
    tracker.waitForID(i);
    if (tracker.isErrorAny()) {
    System.err.println("Error loading image " + images[i]);
    My web content is being delivered by 3rd party hardware which might be rather slow - its hard to tell. My entire web content is approx 200KB. Results are the same using IE or Mozilla.
    Any ideas would be a great help!

  • [Solved] Some icons are not shown in certain websites.

    For example:
    trello.com
    gist.github.com
    is like this:
    many icons are not shown correctly. It happens to all browsers(firefox,chromium,opera) I tried in archlinux. So I guess it' s an issue with some graphic library.
    It also happens to a gitlab server site I set up:
    How can I debug this? Does it happen at your place?
    EDIT: Solved by uninstalling change colors extension for chromium, deleting .mozilla solves for firefox, still happens for opera.

  • Some appointments are not shown sometimes

    I access a Webaccess server that is in GMT+1 timezone from GMT-5 timezone and have GW set to either GMT-5 explicitly or use workstation's timezone. I did this test on Sunday Feb 26 and couple hours into Monday Feb 27 (GMT-5) - I created an appointment for Feb 26, 11:00-11:59pm from within a week view. As soon as it was created, it was not shown either in week or day views or basic interface, but could only be seen in month view or when searching for appointments. That is just an example, it was not a single occurrence, but I had several test appointments like that. Then I also had appts that were not shown even in month view, but only in search results. Regarding that Feb 26 appt, it could be made seen again in day or week views if a different timezone was chosen in options. Today, Feb 27 at the end of the day, that appointment is seen no problem in day and week views and also in basic interface, so I do not have a reliable way of reproducing the problem. Since the appt was not shown even in basic interface before, I suspect it is a server time computation/database query problem and not browser graphics rendering problem. Also, there used to be a pdf file with Webaccess API that showed how to query calendar with startDate and endDate parameters which can be done in basic interface by manually editing the address field in browser and that part is broken too - Webaccess does not show some appointments after given start date, until the start date is moved up earlier to coincide with start of the day in GMT timezone. All that used to work fine in earlier GW versions. It looks like in GW2012 some big design changes were made and some serious bugs were introduced.

    The missing piece is how ( every other way of accessing the calendar ) sees the apointment. What happens from the Windows client? Does it show the missing appointment created in webaccess?
    Its certainly possible that some boundary condition bug is being exercised. But we need to get this to the point where it can be easily reproduced. I suspect the issue has to do with the time zone being signed differently, e.g. +1 vs -5.
    Webaccess is essentially a rewrite in 2012, this eliminated the GWINTER server component and so there are a lot of positives to this move. All things considered, its been pretty decent.

  • Some user fonts not available in CS6 Classic InDesign, please help

       I am using Adobe CS6 Classic on a MacPro computer operating on Yosemite 10.10.1
       Three months ago, I brought over my personal collection of fonts from my retired computer. The collection includes 30 Letraset postscript fonts, which I purchased so long ago that the originals are on floppy disk.
       Initially, FontBook would not install the fonts, but I was able to overcome that by purchasing FontXChange, a tool which enabled me to quickly and effortlessly convert the Postscript fonts to Open Type fonts.
       Using FontBook I installed those fonts into the
                   users/(my home folder)/library/fonts folder.
       Twenty-six of the 30 fonts immediately became available on the InDesign fonts drop-down list. The other 4 simply cannot be made to appear on the list. (This is strange, because those fonts do appear among the fonts available for MS Word.
       I have been searching for a solution online and have not found anyone who is experiencing my exact problem.
       I have tried moving the problem fonts into many different fonts folders, the most promising of which were:
                 •the user/(my homefolder)/library/application support/adobe/fonts folder.
                 •and the MacHD/library/fonts folder.
       I’ve tried starting from scratch with the Postscript font, converting it again to otf, etc. in case somehow the font became corrupted in the conversion process.
       Etc., etc.—Nothing works.
       The problem fonts are: Bronx, Demian, Demian Bold, and Willow.
       Can anyone out there help?

  • Shipping date information is shown on some devices, while not shown on others. What is the criteria?

    Hello all,
    Thanks again for taking the time to read this. I have a customer who considers the shipping date very important in their operations. Our HTOM was taking a look at the reports from the IR portal, and informed me that some devices showed the shipping date, while others did not.
    It seems that 'fixed switches' seemed to show this information while 'chassis' did not. What is the criteria that is used to display this information?
    Thanks,
    John

    Hello John,
    I think your request may need some technical analysis.  I would suggest, please open Service Request (SR) and provide the details of the devices having an issue and report details too, so that technical support team can check availability of requested data in upstream systems.
    Per their analysis, they will update you thru SR.
    Thanks in advance for accepting SR approach for this request.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Some files are not shown in my airport disk

    well, so far i'm impressed with my airport extreme, very stable and amazingly fast, but....
    while testing access to my lacie hd over my airport connection i noticed some of my files where not available, initially i thought it was due to folder properties or corrupted files, but when i connect the hd via firewire all items are visible and i can open them without problems.
    any suggestion to solve this problem??

    I have a similar problem with drives attached to my Airport Extreme. The files on the drives are visible when I access them from my MacBook, but not from my XP laptop - no files visible at all on either drive. If I then connect them up directly to the XP box using USB, then all files are visible once again.
    Any assistance on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.
