After an upgrade from 3.3.4 (x86) to 3.4.5.2-r1 (~x86), the regular styles of the font "Nimbus Sans L" have vanished - they can no longer be selected. Pre-3.4. Documents using that font still display it correctly until the formatting is changed (i.e. setting "bold"). After the style change, the changed parts have been converted into condensed styles. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a Document with font nimbus sans L and objects you can compare the font position, size and placement to (i.e. object fixed to page) 2. Update Libreoffice-bin from 3.3.4 to 3.4.5.2-r1 3. reopen the document. switch font style around. you can't select the one you had in step 1. Actual Results: The font width is totally changed. Document and Printing layout totally screwed in all documents. Expected Results: Nimbus Sans L as it was before. This bug is most probably not gentoo-specific, however that bug renders libreoffice-bin-3.4.5.2-r1 unusable for people who need to stick to certain (CI/CD) layouts.

I added dependency over urw-fonts which should provide the nimbus fonts. Looks like 3.3 binary did provide the fonts internaly. Could you please sync and install the urw-fonts and see if it is still looking differently?
Hi Thomas, I have media-fonts/urw-fonts-2.4.9 installed since 04th of november 2011. I Installed Libreoffice-bin-3.3.4 in this february and Nimbus Sans L worked, and libreoffice-bin-3.4.5 shortly after that and it didn't work - although urw-fonts was present. That looks to me, like It's not about a missing dependency, however some other error. What do you think?
Hmm, there was no change in prefferences wrt the config that is set in the libreoffice-core. It might be caused due to change from internal fontconfig to system one, where your system one is wrongly set or point to different subset of fonts? I will try to reproduce it later on once again when I get off from work.
Also could you by any chance attach some test document if i won't manage to reproduce it?
Created attachment 304897 [details] document containing nimbus sans L
Created attachment 307791 [details] comparsion between 3.3 and 3.5 I just managed to do the comparsion, so image should speak more than words. I still have no clue how to fix it yet sadly.
Hi, nice to see you get the same behaviour. What about the clue > It might be caused due to change from internal fontconfig to system one, where your system one is wrongly set or point to different subset of fonts? ? Thank you for having a look at this.
After bit research. This stuff was fixed in 3.6 branch as I can't reproduce it anymore. So closing the bug :-)
