On a side note, I found another example of the bug caused by the hack that uses to make their font list look tidier: American Typewriter Condensed and its variants are dropped from the font list. The same happens for American Typewriter Condensed: that font has no italic variant so pressing both buttons will change the curreent font to American Typewriter Condensed Bold. Now if the selected text's current font is American Typewriter (which has no italic variant), pressing both buttons will change the current font to American Typewriter Bold. Then, unpressing both buttons will revert the current font back to Times New Roman.

If such a variant does not exist (not all Mac OS X fonts have bold or italic variants), pressing these buttons will have no effect.įor example, if the selected text's current font is Times New Roman and you press both the Bold and Italic buttons, the current font will be changed to Times New Roman Bold Italic. In NeoOffice, pressing the Bold or Italic toolbar buttons will cause NeoOffice to replace the current font with its bold and/or italic variant if one exists. 'What do you think of Western Civilization?' I didn't notice this limitation, thank you!Īt the same time I still have Bold and Italic buttons on my toolbar and in the style definition dialogues.Ĭould you clarify what they do exactly? Or is it somewhere in the Wiki and am I just a bit daft? This hack means that you can only access the bold, italic, and bold italic font variants by pressing the corresponding toolbar buttons and, even worse, there is no way to access any other variants like condensed, wide, narrow, etc. Did you not notice that is 'cleaner' because it is missing fonts? tries to implement your requested feature by only displaying the 'regular' version of each font in the list and dropping all other font variants for each font from the list. In the current version of OOo, the fonts are displayed in a nicely grouped way:

Thanks a lot for investing all that time for my question!Īre you sure that there's an issue with the corresponding code?

Because of these limits, making signficant feature changes to the code is outside that scope. Unfortunately, our very limited donations only provides enough funding for one fulltime developer which limits the current scope of the NeoOffice project to keeping a stable version of running on Mac OS X. So that I understand the question, the reason that NeoOffice displays a list of actual fonts and does not group them into hierarchical menus by font family name is because NeoOffice's underlying code has no ability to handle fonts in any way other than a simple list.Ĭhanging the code to display fonts in a hierarchical structure would require a lot of changes to NeoOffice's underlying code. Then I saw the Kursive variants in the TextEdit screen snapshot and assumed he was talking about Helvetica's special cursive font feature. I misread mds' question as 'NeoOffice lists not only the font name but not all available font variants' (note the 'not' that my mind incorrectly inserted). NeoOffice support font variants but not any special font features. In contrast, a font variant is really different fonts of the same family like regular, bold, italic, and bold italic.

Font features are optional font layouts that a font can support. Where and I said 'font variants', I mean 'font features'. The bad news is that even if we wanted to add support for the special font variants, it is not feasible to implement because NeoOffice uses Apple's Java to draw all text and there is no way to tell Apple's Java to use a special font variant. NeoOffice can only support the default variant for each font. Unfortunately, NeoOffice does not support the special font variants that some fonts support.
